Left to right: Erik, me, and Richard at Sterling Vineyard

Here's the happy trio Our last vineyard. Behind us is a beautiful view. This one was nice because we took a gondola up to the Vineyard. The ride was beautiful and then there was a walking tour and...you guessed it.... tasting more wine. This all for the cost of $10. I thought it was worth it. Erik likes this place so much he bought 3 bottles. We returned back to our car and rainy weather and headed off to find something to eat. All that wine and no food was getting to me.

We stopped at this restaurant called Mustards. The food was absolutely fantastic. Erik and I could not take it all in. We wanted to try everything on the menu. It was so good. I could have eaten all night. Erik and I ordered two appetizers. Then, I had a salad and a desert with a coffee. It was heavenly! If you go to Nappa Valley it is a must, but you better call ahead and make a reservation. We were lucky b/c a few seats at the bar opened up and we ate there, otherwise the wait would have been a few hours. After this extraordinary meal, we headed home to Erik's with a belly full of wine and good food. We were happy campers.
