Jeff & my Christmas/Hanukkah gift to each other was a weekend in Sonoma and got very lucky that our fab Chicago friends, the Francis', were going to be in town, too, to visit Scott's fam. So... we made an adult's only weekend of it and drank some wine, ate at some fabulous restaurants and didn't have to wake up at the crack of dawn with Ben and Ella because they were very happily being spoiled by their grandparents!
We started off our wine day being picked up by the limo, yes, the limo! We visited Chandon, Jarvis, Etude & Domaine Carneros. All were fabulous and we brought home a few 'party favors' so our wine cabinet is now fully stocked!
The 2 restaurants we went to were The Girl & The Fig and Etude. Both great and so much better than the kid-friendly chains that are Ben-friendly...
Here, the lovely Francis' are enjoying the sun while in the back of the limo. They had just escaped the worst storm Chicago had seen in a really LONG time and were very happy to thaw out.
Jeff and Scott were roomies throughout college and then after college until Scott moved to Chicago so... it was so great for the boys to see each other. We have always been card carrying members to the "Scott Francis Fan Club" but he really out-did himself with Nicole. She is a fabulous, fire-cracker of a Southern Belle who we feel like we've known as long as Mr. Tuffy himself, Scottie.
Cin Cin!
