What a wonderful day Jenna and I have had so far here in Sonoma. We decided to postpone yoga until tomorrow, so after breakfast I went on a run and then we walked into town for some tea and window shopping.
We ended up at Murphy Goode Winery! (aren’t their corks pretty??)

Wine tasting at 10:30 a.m.? Sure, why not!
Jenna’s friend Hardy who met us out last night works there, and was excited to give us a tasting
Obviously we had to try on their trademark Viking horn hats
After our tasting, the three of us headed over to a wonderful vegetarian place in town called Cafe Gratitude for lunch.
I had the most delicious bowl of quinoa and veggies with coconut-curry sauce entitled “I am Graceful.”
After lunch, the three of us headed out to do some more tastings and enjoy the beautiful scenery
I love this picture… I was feeling creative
Not too bad for a point and shoot!

Now we’re back at Jenna’s place having a little siesta
We’re heading over to the grocery store shortly to get provisions because a few of us are making dinner at Hardy’s place tonight! The menu we have going is sounding really delicious… stay tuned

What’s your favorite type of wine? I really love Pinot Noir, although my favorite wine of the day was a Chardonnay from Murphy Goode!





What beautiful picturess!!!
Not a fan of Fruity Lexia anymore Americanne?
Anne~ Looks like fun! Just found your lovely blog. Now to do a little catch up reading. Nice photos too!
Love~ Radha
Wonderful day! Have a few drinks for me!
I want to go wine tasting now
Looks like fun. I’ve never been to a vineyard. My favorite type of wine is Savignon Blanc.
That photo is beautiful- annother incentive to go west!! You’re so gorgeous, have an awesome time!
Your pictures all look beautiful!
I’m glad you are having such a great time, I’m totally jealous!
The photos are gorgeous! Looks like you ladies had so much fun. My favorite wine is Pinot Grigio.
Look at you getting all fancy with the pictures! I love. Also love the HAT. Sort of goes with your devilish halloween costume. I hope you kept it for next halloween. You could do many things with that. Like be SUPER VIKING ANNE, or something.
That’s a great shot with a point and shoot! I’m so jealous of you’re trip to Cafe Gratitude…what a great place to be able to go eat…love the names of the menu items too, very uplifting. Fitting for you two gals
Totally jealous!! Yummy restaurant. I still like Shiraz (from Eastern Australia) the best but Pinot Noirs are also a more recent fave (esp. from the Oregon’s Willamette valley!)
Just what camera are you using these days???
My favorite wine is Red Zinfandel. My favorite winery is V. Sattui and Ravenswood. I am so envious of your wine tasting adventure. I would love to go to wine country. Love your blog.
That last photo of you and Jenna together is gorgeous – the colors are so clear and the sky is so blue.. amazing!
Oh my, I love murphy goode! Tried to get a job there once, ha! Have you tried the Mark West Pinot Noir? Its quite tasty!
Cheers,
LCotter
My fav is Silver Oak, Cabernet – yum!
