Whine, wine, wine...

Yesterday [info]didjiman and [info]karisu_sama rolled up to my house, then we swapped into my minivan and raced up north for the Summer Fest at Eastside Wineries.

Unfortunately, traffic was horrible all the way up there so we didn't arrive until 3:30pm. I'd like to thank Cristopher Creek, Acorn and Mietz Cellars who all let us in after the 4pm cutoff. Yummy good stuff.

Before leaving we ran by Mill Creek to pick up some nice, dry Gewürtzraminers. On the way home we stopped at Lococo's Cucina Rustica, one of the best (and affordable!) italian restaurants in the bay area.

Sweet day.

Oooo, sounds like fun! Didya buy any wine?

a few cheap bottles

None of us have lots of money to spare, so we kept the wine buying to a restrained few bottles each. And given that this is Russian River, most bottles were $12-18 a bottle, so we got off fairly light.
