After getting back from Santa Barbara we decided to take advantage of a short break in the weather and headed to wine country. Though I'm not a big wine drinker, i was ready to see some of the countryside and enjoy the ride. We headed over the Golden Gate bridge, away from the rain over the hills and into the valley. There were rows of grape vines on both sides of the road with many vineyards to choose from. Our first stop,brought us to this vineyard, which offered free wine tasting. We toured the gift shop area, picking up some great tasting treats and headed to the counter to enjoy our samplings of wine. The bitter reds and dry whites are not much interest to me, however, rose wines were not in high demand. So, I would try a sip or two and then hand the remaining portion over to Erik, who greatly enjoys wine. The shot below was taken by Erik and his true passion shows through.
