Caitlin from Healthy Tipping Point went to wine country and San Francisco on her honeymoon in January – so she’s still a newlywed too 🙂 Here is a recap of one of the days of wine, food and fun!
First stop: Stag’s Leap, where we discovered you can split a tasting between two people. Thus — we started to save money and sobriety!
Then, we went to Mumm Napa, which is a sparkling wine vineyard (sparkling wine = champagne).
We ate deli sandwiches and sat on the Mumm Napa patio, soaking in the lovely view.
Napa = Heaven.
Dinner was at the newest restaurant in Yountville, a place called Bottega.
Bottega is the newest restaurant from Chef Michael Chiarello (yes, of the Food Network). I even saw him instructing lower chefs in the open kitchen! It was awesome!
We started off with yummy French bread. It was served directly on the tablecloth.
And my entree was Cornish Chicken and stuffing. It was a very large portion for a reasonable price — especially considering it was a famous Chef’s newest restaurant! And it was good!
We decided to split a side of red potatoes…
We made sure to save room for dessert….
The Chocolate-Almond Molten Chocolate cake with hazelnut creme anglaise and caramelized hazelnuts was TO DIE FOR!
Thanks Caitlin! Now I’m hungry 🙂
That chocolate cake looks amazing!!
