Jour 1
Elko Nevada
31 mars 2023, États Unis ⋅ ☁️ 37 °F
Staying at the Town Place Suites in Elko on the way to Cali. Really bad weather coming through the Vail Pass. Snowy until Eagle, CO. Very pretty until Moab turnoff and then a lot of the same views.

Had a great dinner at Odeh’s Mediterranean Restaurant. Chicken Shawarma, Lamb Kabob, Falafel. Outstanding homemade Tzatziki and Hummus. All that and 2 beers was $55 before tip.En savoir plus

Jour 2
Arrived Sebastopol!
1 avril 2023, États Unis ⋅ ☁️ 54 °F
Lots to add. Trip was easy but Northern Nevada was 4 hours of the same. Flat and dry with mountains in the distance. Tahoe area has SO MUCH snow. Stopped at the Doner pass museum as this is a running joke in the family. Bluebird cottage is so cute. Can’t wait to start our adventure. We went to Khom Loi for Thai last night. Michael said it was great. I was too tired to process.

Jour 3
Errands and wine
2 avril 2023, États Unis ⋅ ☀️ 57 °F
Sunday- We needed to stock the house so we headed out this morning to stock up. Hit up the Sebastopol farmer’s market, Whole Foods, Andy’s Produce, Trader Joe’s and Target. Quick slice from Acre Pizza for lunch. After all of that we needed a treat so stopped at Balletto, which was one of the first tastings on our first trip 25 years ago. We also stopped at Char Vale Wineries and met Valerie Char, who was one of the owners. Plan for tonight is grilled chicken at home and maybe the hot tub. Trying to get Count settled in some as he is a bit freaked out still.En savoir plus

Jour 4
Pacific Coast Highway
3 avril 2023, États Unis ⋅ 🌬 50 °F
Monday- Started the day with errands and stopped at D’s Diner in Sebastopol for a quick lunch. Reminded me of the great Greek fast food places with the short order cook. Michael had a great burger and a hot dog for me. In the afternoon we headed over the the coast and drove the PCH. Wow this was incredible. Cliffs and ocean on one side, farms and cows on the other. Had a fantastic dinner at River’s End restaurant. We both did the Dungeness crab tasting menu and had a great bottle of sparkling rose from J Wineries.En savoir plus

Sonoma Lake and Matrix

Tuesday- Today we took a picnic to the overlook of Sonoma Lake. We then headed to Matrix Winery and had a tasting that lasted almost 3 hours. What a great time of year to wine taste. Only a few tables the whole time we were there. We have been members of Matrix’s wine club for about 20 years. We stopped at the location our first trip to Sonoma County 25 years ago. It was Rabbit Ridge at that timeEn savoir plus

Wednesday- We started the day at Armstrong Redwoods State Natural Reserve and did a lovely walk among the redwoods. Then headed to Paraduxx Winery for a tasting and had an early dinner at Bistro Jeanty. Food was very good and since we were so early still had oysters for $2 each. Had great ice cream at Screaming Mimi’s that night to top it all off.En savoir plus

Jour 8
Diavola
7 avril 2023, États Unis ⋅ ☁️ 61 °F
Friday -Went for breakfast at Fandee’s in Sebastopol. Very expensive and not very good. Ran errands during the day. We were going to go old school Italian for dinner near by but decided we needed beer and pizza. Took the drive to Geyserville and went to Diavolo upon high recommendations. It was good but not amazing. Michael was disappointed the namesake pizza was not spicy at all.En savoir plus
