Arriving to the Napa Valley

Yesterday I arrived in the Napa Valley and was greeted with a beautiful pink sunset.

I am here with my friend and classmate, Lindsay, and we will be interning at Jessup Cellars Winery in Yountville. Jessup Cellars is located next to the famous French Laundry, which is the number 1 restaurant in the world. Someday I hope to experience their 9-course meal that takes 4 hours. I bet it’s delicious! Unfortunately, Lindsay and I cannot afford a $250 meal right now.

Our internship supervisor, Grant, picked Lindsay and I up at the airport. Once we got to our cottage, we dropped off our luggage and went into the tasting room to meet some of the staff we will be working with. They all seem very friendly and knowledgeable! The rest of the night we spent settling into our cottage and relaxing from our day of travel. 

This morning we woke up early and got ready for the day. We went over to the tasting room and met with Grant. He told us we had a free day today and to go out and explore the town, which is what we did! We walked around town and it is lovely. I can't imagine how beautiful it is here in the summer time! I am already planning on coming back to see it! 

Tomorrow we will start interning. I am very eager to learn about the wine industry! 

Cheers!
