duchess fare: Trip to Northern CA Wine Country

I was living vicariously through my brother this week-end.... He was headed out to San Francisco for a business meeting and decided to arrive a day early for a visit up to the wine country. I insisted he take pictures of his journey to Healdsburg, CA -- keep me in the loop of the accommodations and details of his restaurant visit. He emailed all photos taken on his Blackberry while waiting to board for his flight back to NYC last night. Anxious to hear his impressions, we spoke before he departed. He gave Honor Mansion Resort Inn a glowing review in every aspect of his stay and his dinner at Cyrus, a 2 Michelin Star restaurant, was over the top insanely wonderful. Check out his photos below.
