Sonoma

Yesterday Adam and I went to Sonoma. We thought since the weather was kinda off that it wouldn't be that busy, but we forgot to factor in that it is the long weekend. Every winery was quite busy. In any case it was fun. We went to about 5 wineries, and bought 10ish bottles. We found the Chardonnay that we want to have at the wedding. It was one of those wines that pops out and screams that you have to buy it, it was that good. It was really educational to try the wines here. I was most amazed at Zinfadel, at home we have white Zinfadel which is ok, but the red down here is quite nice. It's like a starter red wine, it doesn't have the bite of a Shiraz, but it still is red winey. (gotta love my descriptions eh?) We tried a lot of port. There was one lovley one which starts out like a port and finishes with a clean grape flavor, I liked it. We had a nother one which was a Zinfadel, and it was so good that we bought it too, then the last place we went had a Chardonnay port. We bought 2 bottles. We also bought a pink wine, and a lovely desert wine with a stong pink grapefruit nose. I really liked it. I thought it was a lot like an icewine, but thinner, very pleasent.
We also bought some olive oil since they make it down here too, and did you know that olive oil should be consumed when it is fresh and should be in a dark bottle? We also got a nice olive paste, so the first people to come and visit us gets a nice treat!
Finally we went to this amazing Italian restaurant, OMG it was so good.... I will be going back there.
Then we came home, Adam had a monumental headache and I was a little hungover.
Today we finish unpacking.
sigh.
