Han rubbed Dan's arm giving the signal that it was time to leave.

So we went on to Napa and made our first stop at Quintessa where Mo gave us a tour.

I swear I'm not grumpy here. I remember feeling the wine though. Maybe I didn't even know my picture was being taken. (Dan's pic)

For lunch, we had a picnic at V. Sattui
