Cupcakes & Chardonnay is set in San Francisco and Napa Valley. San Francisco is a city that will always be near and dear to my heart. I moved there when I was in my early 20s (shortly after the Loma Prieta earthquake) because I was in love with a man who lived there. Well, that didn't work out but I will always love The City.

If you've never been, I've been posting some photos of places that figure in the book on my Pinterest board:
