a saturday CRUISE to SONOMA....!

this past weekend I got to combine a few of my favorite things......time spent with rad girlfriends, wine tasting and a 1964 Chevy Impala....oh, and that Impala? It's red - original paint. My girlfriend Nicole and I - along with her adorable daughter - ditched Karl for the day and headed North to wine country for a leisurely visit to Ram's Gate Winery. I had never been to Ram's Gate (weird) and was really excited for a new adventure....and to be a passenger in one of my favorite classic cars of all time was the cherry on top!

the back of the winery opens to a serviced terrace, more quaint seating and a small, serene pond in the distance - move. me. in.

It was such a fun and relaxing day and Ram's Gate is definitely a must stop in Sonoma.
