RAVE - French Blue

Saturdays don't get much better than this. Alright, Manchester United could have got beaten today, and that would have made this particular Saturday even better. But without a United defeat, Saturdays don't get much better than 70 degrees of winter sun in St Helena, Napa Valley.

To be fair, French Blue is worth the ninety minute trip to Napa for lunch only. The menu probably isn't dinner worthy.

But it's a delightfully sunny restaurant, with a suitably relaxed vibe, elegant country decor, and - this is all sounding a bit twee.

Maybe I'm waxing a bit lyrical about a ham and egg sandwich, with extra bacon, a peppery bloody mary and a killer espresso. Wait, how can you wax over-lyrically about ham, egg, and bacon? In a sandwich? And a bloody mary?

Our outing was rounded off with more sun and more wine at Alpha Omega winery. Top-tastic.
