• december 14 sueann and i  went up to napa.  it was my first time up there for wine tasting instead.  we went up to viansa, which didn't do anything for me since it was supposed to be where we were going to snack on food.  apparently there is usually lots of food for snacking during the weekends, but since it was a thursday, there wasn't much there for us.  next we went to v. sattui for some wine tasting.  man, there are some good wines their dry dreisling is very drinkable, and their new dessert wine, angelica, is amazingly delicious - so good we bought a bottle. i'd definitely be down to go again.

  for a late lunch we went to rutherford grill for some major eating.  when sueann said prime rib was served, i had to have it since i haven't had prime rib in a quite a while.  it wasn't the greatest, but it was pretty good, especially after tasting a bunch of wine and having a glass with this meal.  the appetizers we chose were the smoked salmon and the cheesebread.  the salmon was very different than what i was expecting, which was a good thing.  it was nice and moist instead the typical dry, pasty texture.  the cheesebread also was great with an old school style of cooking it in a skillet which forms a thick crust on top.  also you can also taste real cheese in it - when's the last time you actually tasted cheese in cheesebread.

  finally, sueann bought me tickets to the warriors-rockets game.  the game was awesome with the score going back and forth by double digits and then baron hitting a crazy 3 to win it.  great game, great day, great birthday!
