I have just returned from a wonderful wine-filled weekend in Temecula Valley. Although I did some wine tasting in Stellenbosch, South Africa and vaguely remember visiting a vineyard with my parents when I was a kid, I can’t say I ever went wine tasting during a part of my life where I actually cared about wine. So this was a new experience. One that I would love to repeat, but have quickly learned must be paced slightly differently.

You see, I went with my parents and while my mom is more a sipper, my dad and I sort of treated it like a competitive sport to see how much we could possibly stomach in one day. Not the best way to do it, we found out. But enjoyable nonetheless…I think in about three months, I’ll be able to handle Napa!

Here’s a fresh, surprisingly light breakfast that made our drive to California tummy grumble free!
