Kim and i have just struck camp and are making time until the wineries open at 11.  We ended up camping next to a bunch of high school freshmen on Thursday night, and next to a gaggle of white trash families on Friday night, the type of people that drank and smoked and cursed heavily around their kids.  We're so glad we're leaving.

Yesterday we visited six wineries and left with 10 bottles of wine.  We really are trying hard to restrain ourselves.  Honest!  Anyway, it's been a good trip, moneywise, because we spent less than $60 for two nights of camping, and we've been making our own meals instead of eating out.  I have, however, purchased the three most expensive bottles of non-dessert wine in my life on this trip (Linne Calodo `03 Problem Child [they really jacked up the price from 2 years ago], Justin `03 Justification and `02 Isosceles).  Anyhow... looks like it's time to mosey on down to York Mountain and pick up a bottle of their port.  I'll burble some more upon my return.

I seriously hate people that curse and smoke around their kids. Little people have rights too!!!

Six wineries and only ten bottles? I am a) Jealous, and b) Impressed at your restraint. Yep.

Cambria, eh?

Nice to know the Welsh wine-making industry is comming along so well.

And be sure to pick up some trilobites while you're there.

Yes, yes, I know... Into the Obvious Bag with me.

Happy wining and dining.

Sounds like a fun trip. I still regret that I forgot to give you a couple of bottles of my stuff. It probably isn't up to West Coast standards, but rarely causes blindness, anyhow.

You guys rule.

Eddie and I are planning on a trip to Hermann, Missouri in the fall, to see their various wineries and stay in one of the expensive bed and breakfasts with a jacuzzi. If the near-wineries in Missouri are fun, we might actually go somewhere on the west coast next time.

We may not find out how good the wineries are if we don't actually leave the room, but that's probably not something you wanted to hear.
