A year of neglect

I can't believe it has been an entire year since I have posted to the site. In March we went to Sonoma, CA for the first time. While the weather left much to be desired, we were able to visit some wineries, including Rodney Strong , Johnson's Alexander Valley Wines and Ravenswood. While you can't find Johnson's wines in the stores, it is worth the visit to check out the 1924 theater pipe organ built into the winery.

For the beau, it was a business trip, but for me, it was an opportunity to check out cheese shops and restaurants and take in a little R&R at the hotel. If you have never had the opportunity to take in a bath ritual, it is very relaxing. My only regret on the trip was not getting the recipe for the cottage cheese and lemon pancakes. While they may not sound appetizing, these were pancakes to die for. I was able to dine at Bouchon, which was a nice treat. Unfortunately for us, French Laundry reservations were a little out of reach for this trip.
