US Tour Day 3

October 21, 2010
Location: Napa Valley

Tasting Napa!

We started our Napa tour with iHop. :)

And a short visit to Harley.

It was quite a long drive to Napa. But it was worth it - at least for me and tita Arlene. We were the only victims of wine tasting - and the experience feels so.. luxurious. I followed the steps of wine tasting: swirl to smell the aroma, sip, whirl around the tongue, swallow slowly.. inhale through the mouth and exhale through the nose. 


We started with Robert Mandoli winery.

while choosing our 5 glasses of sweet wine - $5/5 glasses of assorted wines

Two is enough. We had a total of 8 glasses of different wines. As usual, I was red hot. I realized that I want the sweeter variety of wine such as Muscat, Riesling, and Gamay Rouge. 


We had a buffet dinner in Red Dragon, an Asian cuisine restaurant. From the food and the wine, we had a goooood, looooong sleep. :)
