solage calistoga.
There are those properties that you feel fortunate to have found– the Solage Resort in Calistoga, California is one for me. If you are unfamiliar with Calistoga, it is a quaint little town in the northern Napa Valley. An easy hour and a half drive (in good traffic) from the San Francisco airport, Solage is a much…

i’m honored.
I’m elated. Honored, really. Downtown Napa asked me to do a guest post on my day in Downtown Napa. I’m not quite sure how they found me, but I am so thankful they did. Not only for the exposure, but also for the simple reason that I LOVE NAPA! Downtown. The Valley. Everything. So do…
