Mom Violy wanted to eat crispy pata and pinakbet from Seafood Island Restaurant located in Cubao, Quezon City near the old Shopwise. We had arrived early being the first customers waiting for the restaurant to open. Few minutes later customers began entering the restaurant and we have already placed our order. Mom Violy ordered her crispy pata and pinakbet. Carmina ordered garlic butter shrimp since I don't eat crispy pata. Family member ordered calamari and shrimp fried rice. Everyone had a taste of our meals with leftovers to bring home. Watch my video Running Errands in the Philippines . NOT SPONSORED.

Catalina had planned a surprised for Carmina for her visit to Napa Valley over the weekend.
All through my life I've never experience a real wine tasting with your best friend often seen in social media from friends you've known for a long time.
Sometimes we don't get those invitation we see from friends who have real buddies to hang out doing what they call relaxation by unwind yourself enjoy the wine savoring the appetizers that blends well with what type of wine you have in your glass.
Catalina had reserved at Laird Family Estate in which she has a relative Ezra Chavez currently working there to explain us what type of wines available for us to try.

- Jullian's Red Wine Blend, Napa Valley
- Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Carmina's Review:
Cold Creek Ranch Pinot Grigio Sonoma-Carneros from the wine can be deceiving thinking it is water in a glass but when you try savoring it has a floral with fruity taste.
Carmina had liked this one the best out of the remaining wines she had tasted.
Napa Valley Sauvignon Blac
Carmina didn't like it being strong aroma from the first sip.
Cold Creek Ranch Chardonnay Sonoma-Carneros there is a strong texture where the butterscotch lingers in your palate.
Ezra's Recommended which is his favorite the Red Hen Ranch Chardonnay, Oak Knoll District.
Phantom Ranch Pinot Noir has a berry taste.
Jullian's Red Wine Blend, Napa Valley is a complex dark plum that was too strong for Carmina.
Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon was too strong.
What really blends together with your wine is different type of cheese, crackers, dried fruits, nuts, infused salami and chocolate.
Carmina is grateful for Catalina for her treat and giving me a chance to write about my experiences.
Everyone has different palates so go based on what you prefer based on your own preferences.
