Mom Violy told me she wanted to order the Paella Negra from Dean & Deluca. Carmina suggested we dine in since we’d never really tried their main courses, always just getting takeout with the cream puffs . Mom Violy agreed, and we arrived about thirty minutes before the lunch rush began. The service was very slow, even though we had ordered ahead of time. They mistakenly brought out the Paella Valenciana , despite Mom Violy repeating the order three times to the person who took it. It turned out the cook on duty made the error, even though it was written down clearly. We know Paella Negra takes a long time to prepare, which is why Mom Violy had requested it to be cooked beforehand. She wanted it as her main meal, but because of the mix-up and feeling hungry, she took a piece of Carmina’s Turkey Club Sandwich and asked for the bacon on the side. I didn’t expect the turkey to be just one piece, and the bread was toasted so hard that it removed one layer of the sandwich. Since ...
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.

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.
