After wild horses drag me from my bliss at the Peter Michael cottage, we pile (AGAIN) into the rental and head to ZD for our first appointment.ZD is located on the floor of the Valley, and we walked the production facility and did several barrel tastings with our guide. Kim bought a bottle of the Sauvignon Blanc and we piled int he car and headed to lunch at Mel's fav: The Rutherford Grill (if you like a French dip...go get one at the TRG; amazing!!)
The auto-timer is faster than Melissa
Next we hit Diamond Creek Vineyards for a quick chat with the winemaker (see notes) and then we head up to Chalk Hill Estate, where we are installed in the Agatha Cottage and given a tour of the property. Beautiful place, and very isolated. Our cottage has a hot tub, which Kim and Mel leap into when we get home and seem to break instantly.
