This Lovely Austin Life: Wine

Greetings from the oh-so-lovely California Wine Country! This is absolutely one of my favorite places on earth for the natural beauty, the food & wine culture & most of all because it's home. It is a well documented fact that I love Austin, Texas & for this time in my life, it's a great place to be. But I will always feel a pull to the rolling golden hills of Northern California.

This time, we are in town to celebrate the milestone birthday of a dear friend. We are staying at the stylish (clean lines, gorgeous light, Public Bikes) Hotel Healdsburg. I can highly recommend both the hotel & the town of Healdsburg.

For eats, we hit Campo Fina, Oakville Grocery, Dry Creek Kitchen & Barndiva. The standout wineries were Jordan & Lambert Bridge. My favorite moments were riding bikes on the plaza, the picnic lunch at Lambert Bridge & the big tray of breakfast delivered to me in bed by sweet Scott each morning.
