6 hours of wine tasting in 2 minutes

Took a quick trip last week with my sister Kelley to Sonoma on assignment for Passport.  Luckily this included a 6-hour trip on the Napa Wine Train, which begins with 10:30am wine tasting at the station, boarding the train for more wine and gourmet lunch as we travel through Napa and Sonoma, and then a stop at Raymond and ZD Wineries on the way home for tours and what?  More wine.  Great way to see a lot of wine country in a condensed amount of time.

Tips to keep in mind on a wine tour:

1. stay hydrated,
2. don't be afraid to spit,
3. towards the end of the tour, multi-syllabic words are no longer your friend.

I took the wine train and saw some of the finest trailer parks Napa County had to offer... I don't remember stopping at any wineries... then again, I didn't leave the bar.

Now I'm so thiiiiirrsty. FYI- I'd be more than happy to accompany you on any future trips. It seems like you may have some re-shooting to do...

I've never heard of the wine train before. Looks like you guys had a great time, and this seems like a neat way to get form winery to winery. I usually just use a car service when I go tasting, but I will have to try this out.
