3 Tips to Find Your Wine Spirit Guide in Napa

For all those not blessed to live in California, this place exists. This place is Frog’s Leap Winery in Rutherford, just north of Napa.

What goes up

Yesterday, I ate food from my first food truck. The truck was named Curry Up Now. Four hours later, I discovered it should’ve been called “curry me later.” I don’t often burp vomit, but when I do, it’s memorable. Such was the case with my lunch experience.

Following the theme of this trip, today started with a few knuckleballs. I have started to reluctantly await each day’s plot twist, […]
