My trip to San Francisco 12 years ago does not compare to my most recent rendezvous in this fabulous city. I went to visit my dear friends Genevieve and Kenlee and had an absolutely wonderful time. It was a whirlwind of a weekend and well worth it.
Friday when I landed Genevieve scooped me up from the airport and we went for drinks at the Lion Pub. Be sure to take cash and order the Grapefruit Greyhound. The fruit is freshly squeezed and the drinks are delicious.
We had dinner at The Brixton. Eat everything... it's all delicious. Gen and I split crab cakes and macaroni and I had the chicken and beet salad for dinner. Amazing.
Saturday morning we woke up and went to the coast for the day. If you've never gone to an oyster farm put it on your must do list. Hog Island Oyster Farm is a true experience. Reserve a picnic table, pack a bottle of wine, and spend a few hours shucking your own oysters and enjoying the view. It's an absolutely beautiful place and a perfect way to spend the day.
The other must do while in Northern California is take a trip to Sonoma. I could spend weeks here but only had ten hours before I had to board my red eye back to the east coast. Scribe Winery was by far my favorite of our stops. It was rustic, earthy, and I absolutely loved the people that work there. Our tasting was fabulous, not to mention all of the wines were spectacular. I managed to limit myself to 6 bottles of vino and am anticipating their arrival at my front door any day now.
We had brunch at The Fremont Diner. Between the four of us we managed to consume deviled eggs, the Fremont burger, macaroni and cheese, Nashville chicken, crab chips, chili, and catfish. Of course mimosas were necessary to wash it all down.
We also made stops at Sebastiani and Domaine Carneros before my trip to Sonoma had to sadly come to an end.
I had an amazing time and cannot wait for my next trip to San Francisco. Thanks for a great weekend! I'll be back soon San Fran. xoxo
