Why Mrs Lilien Blog

IF you want to follow a very entertaining blog…

Mrs Lilien is truly worthwhile.

I admire her designs, content & creativity.

In August, she blogged about my favorite Napa winery…

Swanson winery in Rutherford.

Yes, the TV frozen dinner company owns this boutique winery.

This is Swanson’s private tasting room.

A TV dinner would even taste gourmet at that table…trust me!

It is an unforgettable experience! A must-do winery while in Napa Valley. {Reservations are mandatory and limited! Book far in advance!}

The ambiance is magical. Those huge paintings on the walls are painted by Ira Yeager. I fell in love with them… until I found out how much they cost. Tens of thousands!! Not exaggerating! I still love them…I just can’t afford them!! I’ll cry in my glass of wine.

Their packaging is very Victoria’s Secret-ish.

This Alexis wine is one of their signature wines {named after their daughter}

Yes…some kids have a really rough life!! {Although Alexis is all grown up now and even blogs for Swanson Vineyards. I imagine she blogs over a glass of her signature wine and her delicious bon bons! While I blog over a glass of Brita filtered water or Sleepytime tea}

Swanson’s winery has new labeled wines that are very cute. And I imagine very good. Priced at $25 a bottle, they cost far less than Ira’s art.

Perfect for making up…

“OK! Apology accepted!”

Perfect for Christmas gifts…

for just the right person!

Perfect for weddings…

we will be trying this one out!

Mrs Lilien loves this winery so much that she wrote a poem about it…

{and I couldn’t have said it better}

I raise my glass to Mrs Lilien and Swanson Vineyards…

Salut!

Bon Bon Vivant

“If you're in the market for something tasty and totally tiptop - run don't walk, to the Swanson Sip Shoppe - Chop-Chop!! This is a very special place indeed - exploding with delights that I quite fancied - and according to this Mrs. it's a Napa 'must-see!' While I did receive the extra special private tour - it certainly is Napa's winery du jour - while staying punchy and slightly haute couture! There's nothing not to love about this grown up candy store - from the decadent treats to the generous pour - why it just drips with Mrs. galore! After you've knocked back a few - make sure to load up on a box of bon bons or two - and on your way out blow a kiss to Alexis and tell her Mrs. Lilien sent you!”

Oh…and Lisa’s Lovin’ It too :)
