No!  We actually went winetasting again today!  There was a fundraising event for the Mt. Eden Vaulting Club at Cooper-Garrod Vineyards, so Kim, her mom, [livejournal.com profile] sandollar17, and i sandwiched our attendance of the event between visits to Picchetti and Thomas Fogarty (i've been a fan for some time, but i only found out today that Fogarty was a doctor).  In addition to Cooper-Garrod's wines, they were also pouring wines from the The Winery at Holy Cross Abbey (they have a fugly Flashified site, which comes with an unmutable soundtrack of chanting monks), a Colorado winery (yes, there are a few wineries in Colorado), which were quite good, but unfortunately not for sale because they didn't bring enough (duh).

Wednesday was [livejournal.com profile] elmuchacho's first time winetasting, and today was [livejournal.com profile] sandollar17's first time as well.  The ladies had to patiently put up with me as i ended up working on my laptop (plus EVDO card) all through brunch.

Picchetti has peacocks.  Don't believe me?  I have proof!

In fact, Fogarty had a merlot made from Lodi grapes that we almost bought.

Oooo. Delta vineyards rock! (I think Lodi is technically in the Delta.)
