I've been doing some research on the wineries out in Napa. I think it'll be cheaper if we go ourselves and make reservation at the ones that require them. Napa is only an hour out north of San Francisco so if Bret is willing to drive I don't think that'll be a big deal.

some of these places have good deals...like the coupons. i think we should do one of those.
i really like honig wine, its delicious. but it seems that beringer has the most to offer. we will have to see what the group wants to do. Sunday 2/17 will be the best day.
Honig wine is great and offers the best value you'll ever find in Napa. The vibe at their tasting room is great...very comfortable and mellow. Very cool people. It has the small family winery feel.
Frog Leap is within walking distance from Honig so it saves on driving from one to the other.
