Not So Easy Sunday

This weekend we decieded to go do some Wine Tasting on the local wine trail. Our friend Peter had just fixed up his Vintage Bentley so off we went in style.




F-No has really stepped it up with the quality of wine in the region. Mariposa was defintiely my favorite - I like every single wine we tried there - one, the Cru label Pinot Noir, gave any wine I had ever tried in Napa a run for their money. Chateau Lasgoity (pronounced Las-Coy-Tea) also had some great wines - one of which was a 5$ magnum of white zin (Zin Rose) that might have been the best I've ever had. Seriously! Both Matt and his brother bought one.

We then had a fabulous dinner at a place downtown called Veni Vidi Vici. SUPER under-rated. As you can tell, I hated my dinner. It was awful.


Mushroom Ravioli with Sausage in a balsamic-cream sauce. I am now on a mission to re-create the sauce ASAP.

We also thought it was a great idea, since you know, it was SUNDAY, to drink Martini's and wine like it was nobody's business.


That's Matt's brother, Adam. He's single and looking, ladies! After a couple of those bad boys, I was definitely hurting on Monday morning. Maybe because right before we left the restaurant I looked like this:


My sister told the waiter I knit my sweater. I didn't. I bought it for $14 at Nordstrom Rack. But I went along with it anyways.

GOOD TIMES!





Weekend Knitting:
1) Lady Eleanor (Making a fast break for the finish line!)
2) Ball-band Dishcloth for a housewarming party this weekend (and Viva looking very guilty of something!)
3)Nighty from MDK


Also on the needles:

  • Cal Pride Socks for Dad
  • My So-Called Scarf for Kaci
  • A-Line Jacket's Final Sleeve
  • Hedera Knee Socks (--> The yarn is Rowan 4ply Cotton - I think Jen asked in the comments on the last post <--)
  • Hourglass Pullover
  • Brea Bag

So, SO SAD!

ok.....how old is the brother? Will he relocate? Does he like opera?
Seriously, I love Lady E. It looks great! You're using the soy blend from Patons, right? I must try some of that!

The brother? So hot. I was looking at the picture of you guys in the back of the Bentley and thinking that y'all should be on a tv show or something...
