Things I Overheard In Napa

      Last summer for my mother's birthday we went to Napa Valley to celebrate. It wasn't my first time going, but it was the first time that I could drink while visiting. So that's exactly what we did, along with eating some delicious food. At our first wine tasting I realized two things. The first being that it is indeed okay to pour your wine out after you've tasted it. Being the naive 21 year old that I was,  I attempted to drink every single drop of wine that was poured for me. The result was me being hungover at 4pm and craving a burger for dinner instead of the amazing meal that we had planned that night at The French Laundry. The second thing I realized was that people in Napa (or visiting Napa) say some ridiculous and hilarious things. I decided to write those things down. So without further adieu, here are the things that I overheard in Napa. 

1. "I'll meet you in the limo." Because limos are the only way to travel around while you're in Napa.
2. "A day without cheese is like a day without sunshine." I agree with this completely. 
3. "Is this a private tasting?" This was said to us during a very obvious, private tasting. 
4. "I expect to have fun little nibbles." Taken out of context this is hilarious. But the "little nibbles" the man was referring too looked a little something like this...  








4. "But he's French so you can only take him in small doses." Accurate. 
5. "It's naughtiness, personified." Wine is just so naughty.
6. "A beautiful woman shall never be in want of a great bottle of Chardonnay, so enjoy." This is how you get her to call you.
7. "Would you like a local wine or one from France?" Because a wine from France is the only other kind of wine that would be good enough.
8. "Doing well? Surviving?" A pool boy to a group of girls, referring to the fact that it was 80 degrees out. 

9. "Instagram is an art." Said by the group of girls.
10. "Do you know how many chemicals are in that?" Facepalm.
