napa + sonoma

This fall, Kacey and I are celebrating 5 years of marriage and taking a little anniversary trip to wine country. Neither of us have been before and the area has so many restaurants + wineries that we are having a hard time trying to narrow them down! These are some of the options we’re considering.

1 – Del Dotto Vineyards / candlelight cave tour
2 – Schramsberg / champagne of the White House
3 – Sterling Vineyards / arial tram
4 – Castello di Amorosa / castle + beautiful vineyard view
5 – Rotisserie & Wine / Chef Tyler Florence’s restaurant
6 – Gott’s Roadside / formerly Taylor’s Refresher
7 – Morimoto / Iron Chef Morimoto’s restaurant
8 – Bouchon Bakery / Chef Thomas Keller’s Bakery
9 – Bottega / Chef Micheal Chiarello’s restaurant

Readers, we would love to hear your recommendations! Anything we shouldn’t miss? Or, things we should pass on? It doesn’t have to be food or wine related :]

I Recently pinned this chevron twill tape. Such great colors! Reminds me of the Martha Stewart twill tape that Michael’s used to carry. I loved that ribbon!

weekend snippets

How was your weekend? Ours started off with a little garage sale-ing where we picked up a few things for Em including this block of fun [1]. Then I opened a few birthday presents [2 + 4]. And omgosh I’m how old? Then a little work in the studio [3]. And finally a fabulous celebration dinner [5]. If you go, you must try the Machi Cure. It was my favorite. So, so good!

old style c&p

This weekend, Kacey, Em and I took a look at a handful of presses for sale. This is one of them. An old style C&P. Although it’s quite dirty and will need some restoration work, it seems to be in good shape structurally. We have a bit more research + thinking to do before we determine if this is the right press for us. It would definitely be a large jump from our little Pearl but that’s what we’re searching for.
