So for some background, last January we had a lovely getaway weekend in Napa Valley, where we blended our own bottles of wine and dined at our now favorite restaurant, La Toque. We stumbled across this restaurant because we were staying at the Westin Verasa, and rain was pouring outside. We cancelled our original restaurant reservation and opted for in house dining.
We both agreed that we'd try to make it a tradition to go back in January (off season). So this was our first time back since last year.
Sometime during dinner, he apparently asked the valet to pull his car up, and soon we were driving north on highway 29. It was already 11pm at night, so I couldn't imagine there being anywhere to go in Napa Valley. Of course, I went with it anyway.
We finally pulled over on a road about 25 min north of Napa, and then he told me where we actually were. We were parked right outside Roots Run Deep, the private winery that produces Educated Guess, the wine he chose on our first date. We spent some time admiring the starry sky, and then he got down on one knee and asked me to marry him :).
Since last January, we've been introducing the wine to friends and family as our favorite wine (it's actually really good!) So we hope that we can find a venue that's BYOB.
FI applies meaning from the name; he's mentioned that dating me was an educated guess. I thought that was a completely unromantic thing to say, but I guess that comes along with being nerdy-cheesy. Haha. I'll drink to that.
