This week was Carrie's birthday week, happy birthday, Carrie! We celebrated on Thursday by going to La Fondue for some yummy dessert and then on Saturday by taking a Hummer stretch limo with a bunch of our friends up to wine country. The Hummer was fun, it had a flat screen TV in the partition and 9 other small screens throughout the interior cabin, and was big enough to provide a cozy fit all 18 of us. We visited Michel-Schlumberger - our wine club winery - and had some yummy beef stew paired with their great Pinot Noir and a library tasting of several Cabernet Sauvignon's, including their delicious '99 vintage. From there, we headed over to David Coffaro, a cool winery specializing in Italian varietals, and enjoyed their 10-foot front projection hi-def screen showing the NFL playoff games, their popcorn machine, and the mini cheeseburgers that were coming off the grill. For dessert, we visited Geyser Peak (where the photo is taken) and got to sample several different chocolates paired with yummy dessert wines. We finished the day of wine tasting at Stryker Sonoma, where they had some super yummy paella, really outstanding Zinfandel's, and some Bordeaux varietals. The limo then brought us back home where Mondo Burrito catered a huge burrito bar for us and everybody decompressed before heading back to their respective homes.

That's a party!!
Happy Birthday, Carrie!!!
Better be late than never...
how come Google spit out 'error' when I click 'WIne Limo' - no picture! Were they raided by unknown drunk hacker?
Ran out of space on Picasaweb, had to pull these pictures. It's been a month afterall...
Heh guys,
I really like the way how you enjoyed the birthday. It is so marvelous!
Hummer limo service struck me down!!
How 18 adults could enter to the limo? Is it possible?
Also the idea of going to the wine country sounds perfect, I amazed of it!
