A weekend in Sonoma
May/23/07 15:23
Amy had this past Monday off from work for her
birthday, so we spent a night in Sonoma. Sunday we
went up 101 to Alexander Valley. There we tasted at
Trentadue and Sausal. Both were very nice, though
nothing particularly special. Trentadue had a nice
red table wine and rose we picked up, sadly they were
not tasting their grappa. If you like port, though,
they did have a separate tasting for a flight of
those. Sausal specializes in Zins, so were excited to
go there. They were certainly nice, some of their
oldest vines were 130 yrs old, but they weren't quite
as jammy as those grown in hotter regions that we
tend to like. On the plus side, the winery had two
friendly black cats who around and said hi to
visitors. Sunday evening we had dinner at the always
wonderful Della Santina Restaurant in Sonoma and
stayed at the Sonoma Valley Inn where we had our
wedding. Monday we hit the usual Imagery Winery and
Chateau Potelle before heading to the Napa Outlets.
All in all a fun and relaxing weekend.
