Luxe Entertaining: Napa Style

Spending a week in Napa Valley didn't just inspire us to wear the latest fall fashion trends, but the natural, rustic style of the Valley has us loving a whole new kind of home décor.  It may never be a style that we go for year round, but as fall approaches we are totally ready to re-live the week and  throw our own Napa-themed evening inspired by the items we loved most on our trip. 

We envision large farm tables decorated with grapewood vines and vases full of sunflower bouquets, an illuminated setting with strung bistro lights and lots of candles.  A magnum wine bucket stocked with bottles from our favorite vineyards, glasses and tasting carafes for each guest.  Rustic style knives for cheese and wine pairings, and lion's head soup bowls for the best creme de tomate en croute.  We're sure a post-dinner bocce ball rematch will be in order (the boys were sore losers).

Once our weather gets cool enough to feel like fall, this evening will be happening! Stay tuned!
