Three Days of Heaven

 
Nicki's House

I stayed at my friend Nicki’s house over Labor day weekend,

Think five-star hotel--with no other guests but you and your family.

Her house sits in the hills above Napa. She designed it to look and feel like Auberge du Soleil.

The house sits on sixty acres, four of which are cabernet vineyards with glorious valley views

Nicki is also a gourmet cook with a gourmet kitchen.

To say that my family and I had a good time at Nicki’s would be the understatement of the year. To try and explain what a wonderful weekend we had would be silly.

So here are some pictures worth a thousand words each.

Wow. What a house! It's fun to visit when someone lives somewhere as beautiful as this! Maybe it's why we never have house guests. Hahah!
