A Whirlwind Tour of Napa Valley


Arty here today to tell you about my whirlwind visit to Napa Valley last weekend! It all started when I told Daddy he had been working too hard and needed to get away for a relaxing day away from the house! 


This is the surprised look on my face when Mama said, since it was my idea, I could come along while Jakey and Rosy went to camp for the day!  

(...or maybe it was because I do better with the pawrents, than I do at camp...whichever)



 
I must say, I picked the pawfect weekend! The sun was out in full force when we made the 5 hour trip from our place to Wine Country! We even stopped at a nice rest area to stretch our paws. These itsy bitsy daisies were everywhere! 


 
We arrived at the winery just in time for our wine tasting reservation.
 



I changed into my fancy winery cap and tie, then found us a table on the tasting room porch. I brought my own bottle of Rose wine to squeak drink and before I knew it, I found a new friend!




This is Fitzy, she was also there helping her pawrents pick up their wine. She was a very friendly girl and kept flirting with me!  I told her about  my best gal Mabel, and how I was going to be seeing her soon. I think she finally got the message, and went back to wine tasting with her pawrents :-)




As we all know Shih Tzus are master sommeliers!  I snoofered lots of delicious notey smells coming from this full bodied red wine....




 
BOLBOLBOL!!
Just kidding!!!
I don't anything about wine but, I sure had my pawrents fooled! 




We headed for the hotel after our afternoon of wine tasting, and relaxed, watched TV and I had a nice little walk before bedtime.




...and left early Sunday morning for a nice uneventful and sleepy ride home!



I had such a fun afternoon at the winery, and hope Mama and Daddy take me back there again soon!

  12. Wow Arty, you almost had me convinced there, about the Master Sommelier business!
    Gail tells me she visited a Napa Valley winery when travelling in California with a boyfriend in 1982. Which I find surprising as surely the Ice Age was not long over at the time...
    Toodle pip!

  13. Another great weekend away--although SHE shuddered at you on a white hotel bedspread! We have a problematic history with white stuff. You look very convincing and authoritative as a wine sommelier...
