This is the first of my blog postings for Eating with the Buckleys. I gave a great deal of thought to setting up this blog and my recent trip to California gave me an opportunity to start writing about my experiences... both in terms of foods that my wife Laura and I make at home in FL, but also things that we experience when we're eating out locally.... as well as when we're on the road.
The next half dozen postings are all about our recent trip to Napa (which unfortunately came to an end yesterday) and hopefully you'll find this content interesting... and perhaps helpful the next time you're in Napa. I'll likely fiddle around with the format in the next few weeks, but at the moment, I'll break each posting into parts.... with the goal being telling you not only what the food was and the experience of eating it, but also to give you a sense of the time and place surrounding it... as we have found that time, place and story all impact the experience.
Hope you enjoy the journey as much as we already have... which the exact reason that we're launching Buckley Eats!
