Healdsburg REALLY Did a Number on Cody

So...this past weekend had been set aside for a good month as the "Weekend of the Wine". I call it that because all we did was wine taste. Cody and Christina live in Petaluma so we drove up Friday to spend Saturday wine tasting. Cody and Anthony were ambitious enough to plan beer tasting after the wine tasting. Brilliant, right?!

We got to Petaluma and Christina had a beautiful dinner made up for us and of course the first thing she says is... "Sorry, the potatoes are boxed!" LIKE WE CARE! She is a perfectionist so... you know.. she's like me and thinks nothing in this world is good enough until we get involved. We aren't as big headed as that sounded. We just speak the truth. Moving on...
After we four-forked an entire chocolate cake (no plates, no napkins, no milk.. just forks) we passed out. Saturday we awoke for another delicious meal this time in the form of breakfast and got ready to head out to Healdsburg. Unbeknownst to Christina, Anthony and I had major plans to get Cody very drunk as he has never been drunk before and the experiment had to happen at some point in order for the world to know whether Cody was a mean drunk or a nice one. GOOD NEWS! We succeeded and he is quite pleasant all around. Thumbs up Cody :)

I think these photos tell the story themselves...





So wine tasting happened and deep dish pizza. YUM! The best I've ever had and that's coming from someone who has eaten out quite a bit her in her short lifetime.

Tips for my readers on this one:

1. Don't flirt with the wine pourer dude - not a good idea - husbands don't like it - even if you didn't realize you were flirting they don't like it. 
2. If you want free wine you should definitely act older than you are and more experienced in the wine tasting world. Otherwise they see through your haughty exterior so quick that before you know it you have an unwanted "pricing menu" in your hand and a double take tells you that your husband has already left in search of a free venue.
3. Wear comfy shoes
4. Go with friends and have fun
5. Don't drink coffee afterwards.. you WILL. I repeat.. YOU WILL spill it all over the coffee shop and everyone will stare at you.

I am very disappointed that Christina made potatos from a box.
