New love

We visited Milton Vineyard while in Tasmania and it was fabulous!!

We really liked their Pinot Gris 2008, and their 2005 Pinot Noir. We have contemplated buying a case. Yum yum yum!

Napa Valley

I had been to California with dh before, but this time I was excited to finally do "tourist things" as I call them. Last time, I had taken a "dh tour," which meant I saw all of the Coast Guard stations/ships in the area and all of the good surf spots. If there happened to be a cool tourist thing I could see from a station, ship, or surf spot, that was mere coincidence.

We got to travel to wine country, of course, with our fabulous guide M. She has a membership to a fabulous winery, V. Sattui. We tasted a bunch of wonderful wines, and enjoyed wandering around their picnic area - next time we're definitely buying cheese and bread and sitting out on the lawn. It was wonderful! Thanks, M!

Future wine, aka grapes growing on vines

Look at them grow!
