VINO anyone?

I am barely getting this blog post up after about a month.  Jimmy and I went to Santa Ynez and went wine tasting.  We visited 6 Vineyards in this order:  Gainey, Buttonwood, Bridlewood, Fess Parker, Firestone and Zaca Mesa.  The first 3 we have been to before and are our faves.  Buttonwood also has a peach orchard with the largest, yummiest and juciest peaches.  We stopped at Trader Joes in Westlake and packed a pic nic.  One thing I love about California is everywhere we went, THERE WAS A TRADER JOES, or a Gelsons, or a Bristol Farms, or a Whole Foods!  Our first stop was Gainey and they had a beautiful pic nic area overlooking the vineyard.  Firestone is a new fave, their tasting room and folks working are awesome.  The region has probably about 20 more wineries/tasting rooms that we could have visited.   Last Sunday we had Bridlewood's six barrell syrah.  SO GOOD.
