Fates
It seems to be our fate that wherever we are, the warm fine weather is not. We are now in Pasa Robles and the sun has actually come out. It looks to be a pleasant late afternoon/ evening--but alas rain is on the way tomorrow. A fate worse than weather is being here in wine heaven with our "tasters" totally out of whack. The sinus problems that began in Death Valley are still with us. (so much for the desert pollen theory) Everything tastes yuck. So no wine touring for us. We did,of course, go out to Bonny Doon, where we couldn't resist a little tasting, including a fine ambrosia which was not for sale. Anyway, the sad news at Bonny Doon is that the tasting room/ gift shop burned down last December and now they are operating out of a mobile. We had a good visit there anyway, chatting wines with a dealer from Wisconsin. We're leaving here tomorrow--either south to Lompoc or North to Laguna Seca. Either way we won't have internet access for awhile. You'll know we're approaching home when the rains come.
