the bad news is i'm dying. there is no good news.

Now sick with some respiratory ailment for the third time this winter (possibly a fourth that i fought off with minimal distress).  Body aches, too.  But at least i managed to feel well enough yesterday to enjoy five wineries in the Santa Clara Valley AVA with 2wanda:

• Fortino Winery (run by an old-school Italian)
• Hecker Pass Winery (ditto)
• Sarah's Vineyard (new ownership)
• Solís Winery (very charming pourer)
• Satori Cellars (lively bunch, lots of wine poured)

It's yet another local wine country that we'd neglected to visit, which oversight has now been corrected with spontaneity (we were just gonna drive to the beach at first).

Oh, dear, new symptoms... which you probably don't want to hear about.  Bye now!

I hope you don't die! I'll send some good vibrations--or maybe, uh, expectorations--your way.

Glad y'all got to have some tasty and spontaneous fun! Also, hope you get well -- and stay well -- soon.

fun day!

It was indeed a very nice Sunday all around. We normally limit ourselves to four wineries, because the fifth generally pushes us over the edge and leaves me too tipsy to drive. We did have to sit in the car for a while after Satori and nibble on some leftovers before hitting the road. Totally worth it, though. Satori was the highlight of the day. Not because they had the best wine, but because they were the most fun.

That sounds like an excellent way to spend a day while sick; Yoko and I are on round two of Respirapocalypse, and we sympathize.
