John ordered wood-grilled pork and olive sausage, calabrese braised romano beans and yukon gold potatoes. I thought the sausage was a little dry but he thought it was just right. Supposedly you eat with your eyes first. This was not a great dish for the eyes.

Not being able to find a room at the Gaige House, our favorite, in Glen Ellen, we opted to stay at the Kenwood Inn and Spa.  Word of warning – this place is incredibly overpriced and NOISY.  Plus there was no wireless internet.  But it was a nice room and a gigantic bathroom and it seemed a better choice than driving home.

We had a great day in wine country.  We ate great food, tasted great wine and spent a great deal of money.
