february 14

for the past six year's we've spent valentine's weekend with my father in law, ray, and his group of friends at a wine tasting and food pairing lunch at nicholson ranch.

the event is always a blast and the outing seems to get bigger and more elaborate with each year that passes.

the day usually starts with bubbles on the way to napa, wine tasting in the tasting room to wet our whistles, and then sip upon sip, glass upon glass, we taste their chardonnay, pinot, syrah, and merlot flights paired with a fabulous 3 course meal. the evening ends with each of us, quite over served, piling back into the limo, giggling and hiccupping our way back to the city... it is so much fun.

this year, i got to experience the day from my new place in the sober seat.

was it an enjoyable day? yes.

did i feel like i missed out on the fun? yes... and if you don't believe me, this picture should sum up quite succinctly just how much fun i missed out on.
