Baobob. Souverain. Funston.
Little Baobob is where we celebrated JC’s birthday (3 weeks late). A fun, teeny-tiny bar in the Mission with some dance space where the DJ spins French Caribbean and Latin tunes.
Saturday, S + I ventured up to the Russian River Wine Valley for the annual barrel tasting with Niki and Bill. You get to taste future releases and if you like what you taste, you can pre-purchase a case or more for a discounted price. We visited Rodney Strong, Chateau Souverain, Clos Du Bois, Canyon Rock and La Crema. Chateau Souverain, had, by far, the best tasting pre-wine of the day. It was their Cabernet Sauvignon – Reserve. Can’t remember the year, unfortunately. But we didn’t purchase the case, since it was selling for a discounted price of $515. Yup, just a bit steep.
Sunday was just the most gorgeous day in SF – so Lucie and I met my mom at Ft. Funston and took a walk. Lucie chased after her ball for more than an hour and after her bath, slept for the rest of the day.
