Enjoying a Fine Italian Wine Feast
I had a couple of things on my mind last Tuesday. Since I cannot write about one, I will write about the other!

Nearby getaway gems
Need a hideaway with all the luxurious amenities of a first class hotel but with the flavor of a French styled country inn? La Residence Inn rooms fill the bill. Sitting on two acres of glorious heritage oak and redwood trees in Napa is a converted mansion built by a river captain in 1870 and across the spa pool and the mini vineyard is a French style barn. 26 rooms house finely redecorated, luxuriously, comfortable rooms. Each room is individually decorated and has tasteful antiques scattered throughout, it seems each time you turn around there is a surprise, a lovely period antique lamp, an armoire from another era, an inviting fireplace with logs and matches in place and very readable books. French doors that open out to a verandah that overlooks a lovely garden add to the romantic setting. The modern touch is a CD player in each room with a collection of disks for every taste. (A very welcome touch.)
