Homeless, Yet Fun

Image
I may be without a home currently, but it hasn't stopped me from enjoying life. I was back in Roseville for a family gathering ... we know how to do potlucks, then have been to two soccer games (go Republic FC ), went wine tasting at Bogle , walked around the Old Sugar Mill , and enjoyed a fun lunch at Freeport Grill . I even got to hang out with horses and get them on TV . In Napa there was an awards dinner with NorthBay Biz , drinks at T errapin Crossroads in San Rafael, meetings with reporters, including a sunset walk through our vineyards, an amazing tour, tasting, and lunch at Robert Mondavi (we have a winemaker dinner coming up in October to celebrate their 50th Anniversary ), plus a tasting and garden tour at Cakebread . So not a bad way to be homeless, but hoping I have a home for Memorial Day Weekend. See all the photos .

It was a fabulous last weekend of home ownership in Roseville and really a shows a good reason why I needed to move ... I wasn't home, I was in Napa. In Napa we celebrated with a spectacular wine and food extravaganza featuring wines from the Wagner Family of Wine including Caymus Vineyards and Conundrum . My parents and grandma came to join me on Saturday, we had a quick lunch at Crush then dinner at Siena , always a favorite to prepare for Mother's Day Brunch the following day. Our culinary team does some of the best brunches and the nearly 400 people that enjoyed Mother's Day at the resort did not leave disappointed ... or with an empty stomach. I only wish I could have gotten to the Brioche French Toast station. Once I did get back to Roseville it was time to finish packing and start moving. I didn't get much sleep on Sunday night or Monday night, but everything got packed, the house got cleaned, and I was off to Napa first thing Tuesday morning. Now all my stu

Traveling Before The Move

With just a few days before I move, I haven't been home packing. I've been traveling and it's been fantastic. While at home I've also been trying to enjoy my last few days in Roseville and Sacramento. It began with a trip to Leatherby's , beer and pizza at Old Town Pizza , and church at Bayside with special guest, David Garibaldi . I've also been in Napa with some large events including a groundbreaking for our newest expansion coming in 2018, a new event, Grapes & Hops that was setup like a Farmers Market and featured some amazing food paired with beer from Napa Smith and wine from Trinitas . There were also a few minutes to take friends from our corporate office wine tasting. We enjoyed an amazing tasting at HALL Wines/St Helena , followed by a lovely outdoor tasting at Foley Johnson , lunch in Yountville at R+D Kitchen , and we finished the afternoon at Chandon . This weekend there will be a dinner with Caymus Vineyards , then my mom is coming f
