So back in February, I was going stir-crazy. I was vaccinated, but hadn’t really pulled the trigger on taking advantage of that and going anywhere. I decided to check out flights, and saw I could get up to the Bay Area pretty cheaply, and found a cool place to stay in Napa. I figured a few day trip to wine country could be fun. Also, wine country tends to attract women, so why not see if I could continue to score in a road-game situation.
I ended up having some good success my first three days there, as there were a lot of women in their 40s and 50s, either doing girls trips, or, like me, doing something for themselves. Also, had a good amount of great wine, and probably joined more wine clubs than I needed to, but when you have some offsite storage, what’s a few more cases a quarter, right?
By the time Saturday morning rolled around, I was definitely feeling like the wanderlust I was sensing at home was fulfilled. The short-term nature of my planning had made it challenging to get any tastings in for that day, so I started to make other plans for my last full day in Napa.
