Napa With Mike & Betsy 01Jul18-02Jul18

Our first stop in NorCal was to Napa to visit our "old" friends Mike Jordan and Betsy Kerr. We enjoyed way too much wine on our first night at a party at their house with their kids and grandkids - it was great to see Lisa and Tyler and their "spouses" Julani and Vanessa and of course Lisa & Julani's son Mazi. I failed to get the pic. We moved on to a day of rest and fine dining at CIA Copia, then a day tasting wine at Mi Sueno, a small winery from a Mexican guy who made good learning all aspects of wine-making from the ground up and used industriousness to open a spot with oft lauded wines. Great time. We followed with time at the newest winery in Napa called Ashes & Diamonds, opened by the son of Darioush. It was modern, pretentious, over-priced and not so good IMO; none of us would go back there.
