Day 18 - Winding Down in Napa

Today we enjoyed beautiful weather here in the Napa Valley.  It's probably the last cool weather we'll  feel for quite a while.  Breakfast at the B & B was gourmet - Mac & cheese and chilled strawberry soup.  We kind of lounged around for a while while we worked out a plan of attack.  The resulting plan included stopping at a gourmet grocery to pick up picnic food then continuing down the other main road that goes the length of the valley to visit a couple more wineries we were interested in.  We decided to skip Opus One, since their tasting was $40 a glass, but we did make it to Silver Oak.  Then we drove up the hillside to Rutherford Hill where we had our picnic with a view of the valley.  After that, we stopped at Mumm (known for sparkling wine) where we took their tour.
After walking to a pizza restaurant for dinner, we hit the dessert table (always chocolate) here at theB & B and relax for the rest of the evening.
Tomorrow we hit the road again.  Our destination will be either Barstow, CA or Kingman, AZ depending on how much driving we want to do.  Nothing but desert in between.
