Napa Valley

This year, we went to Napa a little earlier in the wine season to enjoy wine tasting with food. The highlight of this week was a lunch at Round Pond Estate, where chef Ryan Seal surprised us with his food pairing. It was simply outstanding and innovative and just what the doctor ordered. 

We stayed in Yountville for a very good reason. After tasting wine all day long (just kidding) you can find plentiful very nice restaurants to enjoy dinner within walking distance. No need to drive anywhere. On the walk back to the hotel of your choice you will be able to see art like this.

Of course, we visited Hall at their Rutherford location for a Platinum tasting experience. The wines were excellent, no question about it.

Since we are member of B Cellars and Sullivan's , we naturally stopped by there as well. We really like the Merlot from Sullivan's, it's the best (and probably most expensive Merlot) I've ever had.

New wineries that we visited for this year were Cakebread Cellars and Alpha Omega.

Mustang Mach-e

When in November 2019, Ford released a teaser for a new EV, I knew immediately that this would go on my wish list. Not that I was a Mustang fan, but those lines are so sleek and I just couldn't believe that Ford, the grandfather of all automotive companies, could actually design such a beauty.

On July 2021, I finally put in an order for a GT Performance version. As you can imagine, I'm very exited to receive it sometime next year.

Update: Ford sent me an email, stating that their production for the 2021 model had reached capacity and that my order would be upgraded to model year 2022.
