We had a busy day out hanging around Napa with Thea. We swung by GooseCross Cellars right after lunch at Judd’s Hill. Thea hadn’t been in a while, I hadn’t been ever, but we chat with the GooseCross people on Twitter once in a while, so we decided it would be a good stop. Sadly, it was SUPER crowded. We didn’t stick around too long, just long enough to taste…the small tasting bar was 4 people deep, folks had strollers, it was very crowded.
