Hanging tough in these wild Napa streets. #liveinthevineyard #oceanparkstandoff (at Napa, California)

Did I mention my handsome husband who had us all laughing and questioning "Where's Waldo" .... he likes to disappear and take his own tours, but he always comes back with interesting backstory and usually has made a new winemaker friend, so it's all good!

How befitting that the sky has darkened and grey because as we make our last trip "on the bus" we already miss our adventure. Many of us made our way to the Fatted Calf Charcuterie and Model Bakery for our last foodie indulgences until thanksgiving.... We are full of the riches from this most magical weekend. We are taking the memories of the passion that the winemakers, chefs and artists have shared.... both their craft, but also the commitment to their art, which is most infectious. I hope we can hold on to this magic and glow we are have in us this morning, let it carry us through the week and past the issues that don't really matter. God and art are good today. Thank you @ClaireParr and @bobbiihachJacobs and @Live In The Vineyard Oxox

Napa Saturday  I found my super power according to my pal, PJ Bloom.... Breaking the 4th wall!!! What can I say, I like to ask questions and let the artists who come and pour their souls out to us that we are interested in who they are and where the music that moves us comes from. James TW, who has been the opening artist for Shawn Mendez all summer found his calling at 13 making YouTube covers, but recently looked back on those recording and realized that his voice was changing.... let me tell ya'll it has changed into soulful, sound butter. He writes songs that make you cry.... and we all did when he sang "when you love someone" about telling your child that you're getting divorced. He wrote it for a young boy that he knew was about to get that terrible news and he wanted to give him a song to make it though..... sigh 💕 "Toast" Champagne and a beautiful pastry brunch hosted by JaM cellars that mix tasty wine with music and has a complete studio right in the tasting room for your most creative multitasking. Pete Yorn reminded us that "We Terrify the ones we love most" which is too fitting coming up next Tuesday and the holidays..... but love always conquers! And now on to our next Live In The Vineyard pinch me please adventure ❤️❤️❤️🎶🎶🎶 PS Yup thats me all Fleetwood with Stevie in the bathroom!

Perhaps a little fuzzy from last night, but nothing a little morning wine, brunch and pure groovy talent can't heal...... The husband, who can be a bit of a wine snob bought this gorgeous family owned wineries Cabernet while we shook our grove thangs with Spencer Ludwig whose song "Diggy" will be on replay in your brain soon.... I promise and what a lovely human Spencer is ❤️🎶😍 Keaton Simmons got us warmed up under the sunny sky with his badass percussion player Mona and sing along songs. We then boarded our very party bus to Brasswood winery and listened to the so sweet and all girls girl Colbie Calliat, who always makes you feel like you have a friend. Champagne and oyster break and on to some more great artists tonight!! #MadorumVineyard #LiveInTheVineyard #colbieCalliat #SpencerLudwig #KeatonSimmoms #BrassWoodWinery #Napa

Live In The Vineyard..... AHHHHH the BEAUTIE ❤️🌟 This is my favorite weekend of the year. Beautifully curated food, wine and music in one of the most beautiful places in the world... the Napa Valley Last night to my surprise, my friend Mark Isham showed up on stage while Stella Artois treated us to scrumptious dinner paired with beer, cidra and wine. This never again pop up dining room, surrounded by sparklingly musician art was a perfect end to our first night of this most spoiled rotten weekend. I must admit that before that we were whisked from the airport to the historic Inglenook Winery owned by Coppola and had insane wine, some melt in the mouth short rib mini bits and heard two new artists Elliott Root and Drake White from Nashville.... how fitting for me, huh? The in-between we got to witness artist drama under the Oxbow bridge with The Head And The Heart 😳 WTF!!! while drinking more wine and munching from the circle of food trucks under a setting Napa sun. But for me the best part is spending this weekend with the friends I have made in this crazy, but so rewarding business of music. More wine Pauli!!! Oxox
