West Coast Greetings!
I am writing to you from the West Coast and feeling spoiled by the perfect climate and exquisite cuisine! I came here, to sunny California, to attend a Harvest Moon Ball wedding celebration which I will be blogging about later this week.
I was lucky enough to enjoy lunch at one of the BEST restaurants with the BEST view in Napa, Auberge du Soleil and of course I wanted to share a few pictures with you.
I also went on a breathtaking tour of Opus One Winery. It’s a mix of old-world Europe and contemporary California. I highly recommend coming for a visit if you find yourself in wine country.

I will definitely be bringing some California influence home with me for my Fall cooking classes. I hope to see you there!
