February 4, 2010

Ok so I have to say I am really excited for February.  I am not a huge Valentine's day candy kind of gal but one thing we have been doing almost every year for about 5 years now is head to Napa.  Napa, wine, and family is my kind of Valentines day! 

We are heading up on Saturday the 13th for the Beringer Valentine's day dinner. If you have never been to a winery dinner you are missing out.  Although they can be a bit on the pricey side you can not beat the incredible food and the vasts amounts of wine.  A night without the kids never could be better. 

The menu has not been posted yet, but Carlos who handles their wine club events is amazing and busy.  I can't wait to see what we will be eating and drinking.  And no I don't plan on watching what I eat. 

What are yours plans for the BIG day?  email me at info@cawineblog.com.

Happy wine!
