Hi 🙂
It’s just as rainy and blah as it was yesterday but I’m in much better spirits. Maybe vino has something to do with it? 😉
I great cardio workout at the gym (30 minutes on the arc trainer + sit-ups on the bosu ball), a nonfat hazelnut latte and then met my friend Ali for lunch at Willow Wood in Graton. Had the most delicious toasted ham, brie and pear sandwich!
Tres French! 🙂 It came with a random side of pasta that I didn’t eat…the sandwich was incredibly filling!
After lunch we headed over to Hartford Family Winery for their holiday party. It was a blast and I ADORE their wines!
I think my two favorites were the Fog Dance Pinot and the Hailey’s Pinot….I picked up a bottle of both. My kind of Pinot….rich, juicy and filled with fruit!
Yummy.

Tonight I’m going to dinner and a movie. 🙂 I’m pretty excited because I’ve been wanting to see The Blind Side foreverrrrr (especially after Polly’s review!!)!
Stay warm and dry….I’ll be back!

December 12, 2009 at 5:38 pmI cry watching the Blind Side commercials! Hope you enjoy. Pinot is one of my favorites, but Sonoma Zinfandels are slowly passing it by!

December 12, 2009 at 6:51 pmI never wanted to see The Blindside…until I kept hearing such good things about it!! Can’t wait to hear a review!
And yes, vino makes most things better.
How are you feeling about being away for the Holidays Jenna? I think it’s great that you have such great friends there that make for family kind of 🙂
Also, I love your sandwiches! I’ve been into them lately myself. That toasted bread looks delish!

The Blind Side is such a good movie! So heart warming 🙂 Enjoy!
