a little peice of heaven

 Reason #251 of why I love the Bay Area:  40 miles away from delicious wine and beautiful views!

Scott and I were lucky enough to spend the weekend up in Healdsberg at his bosses vineyard.  Healdsberg is a small and charming town in wine country, just north of Santa Rosa and close to the Russian River.  The house on the property is my ultimate dream house.  Everywhere you would turn, you saw lines of grapevines and gorgeous greenery,  They have a gigantic garden that looks exactly like Ina Garten's from Barefoot Contessa...strawberries, herbs, tomatoes, snap peas....everything!  We brought Sophie with us, and she had a ball!  She loved being off-leash and running around in the grass and exploring on her own.  She was such a good girl.

Scott's boss had some friends visiting as well, so we hung around the pool, barbequed, drank some of the best wine I've tasted, and listened to music. We stayed in a redone apartment located above the barn that had a beautiful view of the property.  Being on the second story made for some awesome photos....



See what I mean?  I felt like I was in a postcard.







 We killed this, along with three more bottles!  Yikes!









Dan said this was the best sunset he has ever seen at the vineyard, I'm happy we were there to see it!  These photos do not do justice, the colors were amazing!








I'm loving the family photo, might have to frame that one!  I'm counting the weeks, days, and minutes until we can go back.  I love wine country!
