Rutherford Hill Having a milestone birthday in 2020 is a bitch! We had two cruises cancelled this year due to COVID-19, so when it came time to figure out how to replace my birthday cruise in October, we chose Napa. Because... duh. We visited many repeat wineries where we are wine club members so I will not re-iterate those again; rather, I will add the new-to-us ones in this blog post. For those who haven't travelled here since COVID-19 started, here's a couple things that were different on this trip: All tastings were by appointment only, no more than 6 to a group All tastings were conducted outside with no tours It was HOT but the smoke from the Glass Fire was gone Restaurants were still at 25% indoor capacity, with almost all offering takeout or outdoor seating Masks required all the time except when sitting for a tasting and eating In Lodi, all tastings were done in a flight format. VERY different than what we have seen anywhere in wine country, thanks to COVID. Lodi
Love my toes in the sand, with a glass of wine in hand - best way to spend a Florida day! This isn't so much a blog as it is a collection of "where we went, what we did, and how we did it." Hope you find the information helpful!
