We drove to Napa from Lake Tahoe. We’re here to check out the wine region of the entire Napa Valley. As we entered the valley, we could’ve thought we were in the south of France. Napa has endless rolling hills and vineyards just like France. We decided to stop at a small vineyard just outside of the valley. The vineyards is called Beaver Creek . I had to put up with my husbands endless jokes about the name. We went inside in hopes for a bit of wine tasting. We were not disappointed.
The owners of Beaver Creek were these two Czech guys. They were great! They themselves showed us around the place, no assistant for them, they loved showing people around. I had to keep hitting my husband, because he would start quoting Steve Martins ‘Two Wild and Crazy Guys’ sketch from Saturday Night Live. The owners were a bit odd, eccentric really, with cowboy hats, but they had a very quick wit. One of the owners was a huge Barca fan and hated Chelsea, so this instantly made my husband begin to stop making fun of them and really hit it off with the owners.
We sampled the wine, personally, I’m not a wine buff, but I really like their wine. As we drank, one of the owners told us some great travel stories, mostly having to do with women. After our wine tasting, and purchasing a few bottles of wine, we drove into Napa. I was feeling a bit tipsy, so I know my husband was too, even though he wouldn’t admit it. I told him we need to spend the night here instead of driving all the way to San Francisco. He agreed, so we stopped at the first place that appeared to be a nice place to stay , and booked a room for the night. When we settled in for the night, we thought that most people along the roads coming from the vineyards must be as tipsy as we were. Even though it’s call ‘wine tasting’, you taste a lot of wine! Probably 2 to 3 glasses worth if the vineyard is any good. But, in Napa, it seems as if no one cared that there were tipsy people driving on the road.
