Yesterday was Jes’ birthday so Kumquat took him out for a nice steak dinner at Hillstone after work.

Cheers!!

Today, Jason picked us up and we went to Sonoma for the day.  (Thanks for driving, DiDi!)  Our first stop was Sebastiani and we shared a tasting while Kumquat wandered the tasting room with her snack.

For lunch, we went to the girl and the fig, which features rustic French food.

Apparently I made the right choice for lunch because he wanted to order almost everything on the menu.

Here are the profiteroles that we ordered for dessert.

After lunch, it was too hot to stop at Train Town for Kumquat so we went straight to a second winery called Cline Cellars.  It was 98 degrees out in the sun so we spent the afternoon on the porch in the shade sipping wine.  Kumquat’s looking extra sweaty in this photo.

Happy Birthday, Jes!  We love you!
