The last few days I’ve been enjoying (read: wishing I could live here) wine country at Sip Bite Blog, hosted by Kendall Jackson. I have hundreds of photos to share with you later, but here’s a little snapshot of our time via iPhone.
Never
want
to
leave.
I’m Jessica and this is where I share my stuff. You will find a balance of healthy recipes, comfort food and indulgent desserts.
I am madly, passionately, inexplicably in love with food. Bacon makes me beam. Chocolate makes me shout from the rooftops with joy. Vegetables and I are the best of frenemies. My perfect world would include none of them.

How can it be that you are a great cook, have a fantastic sense of humor, and are young and gorgeous too? WTH…good thing I love you, and feel like we’re friends, or else I’d be jealous!!!

Utterly amazing!
Perfectly suited for YOU! ;)

Lauren is right….Gloria Ferrar has a great view and so does St. Francis! I have to laugh because my husband said I took too many grape pictures but every time we would pass by I would make him pull over!!

Love the action shot of the wine being poured. Amazing.
BTW, I typed the word “poured” three times before I got it right. Pored, poored, pored again. Ugh.

Wait – do you have dark hair now? How did I miss this?

Haha! It’s really my natural color… I think I first did it back in April. My hair was looking so brassy and gross from too many highlights.

What iphone app did you use to take your pictures? They look AMAZING!!!

Jessica — September 26th, 2011 @ 9:04 pm
Thanks! I use a bunch, and most pics are 2-3 on top of each other. My favorites are camera+, snapseed, instagram, colorsplash, idarkroom, and dynamic light.
