Napa Vacation Starts Sunday

Flying out of Greensboro Sunday morning and will land in San Francisco at noon (PST) after a short layover in Chicago. We're staying as guests of one of the wineries for 4 days and then spending 3 days in San Francisco before flying home next Saturday.

I lived in Napa for about a year and a half in 75-76 after I came back from SE Asia, before there were hundreds of wineries and before it got so commercial. We're fortunate to have some private tours and tastings at a few other wineries and will even get some private culinary lessons in one of the kitchens.

Taking a 4-hour hot air balloon ride at sunrise through the Napa Valley Monday morning which should make for some awesome pictures. Might actually shoot a few with our Panther swag on and have them published in the Roar. Done that a couple times from the Caribbean in the past.

My first vacation in over a year and I'm used to taking a couple every year. But since my dog was run over almost a year ago, his surgery and recovery now complete and all I want to do everyday is come home and see him. You'd think nothing ever happened to him now.

Excellent. I have never been to Napa but spent some time in Sonoma this year and just returned from a four-day trip to the Finger Lakes to take in lots of Riesling, Gewurz, Ices, and improving reds at the Finger Lakes.

Glad your dog has recovered and your able to get out for a vacation. Would love a report on the places you visited when you get back.

I'd have to hit Yosemite if I was that close.

Yeah, love Yosemite, but haven't been there since my little brother died in a climbing accident on El Capitan when he was 20 years old. That was in 1980 and still don't want to relive that.

do yourself a favor and do the Alcatraz tour....you'll love it

Yeas, done it a few times and find it absolutely fascinating. They do night tours now, but they're booked solid weeks in advance.

Since all of us have been to SF and 2 of us have extensive Napa experience, we're going to do the non-tourist stuff, the off-the-wall places to see... I really want to see the America's Cup catamarans- they look unbelievable... and the Cup will be won by the US in SF Bay next year.

      OFFICIAL 2026 Undrafted Free Agent Thread

      By rmoneyg35 · Posted

      Any idea what happened to him at LSU? im reading that he was considered a 1st round pick in 2023, had an off 2024 season with only 4 sacks but was also on a horrible FSU team then went to LSU where he was supposed to be on an aggressive defense that should have given him a lot of sacks but he only ended up with one….   was he injured? Did the top SEC competition expose him? What happened? Cause this guy was considered a top prospect .

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.
