The Coffee House

Turley has a tasting room in Templeton. I'm pretty sure they grow grapes in the central coast area. I believe they also have a winery in Napa. I'm glad you share my view on Tobin James. Everyone talks it up, but I just don't see it. I agree with you about Napa and Sonoma. Napa is crowded and commercialized, Sonoma is more laid back, and has very good wines. Livermore is good, but they tend to charge a lot for wine tasting. Lodi has great Zins and Chardonnays, and you often can talk to the winemakers.

Thanks for the info on the elephant seals. Sounds like a worthwhile trip. It's about 3 1/2 hours to Morro Bay, less to Paso Robles.

Is Charlie trying to tell us he's having ragout for supper? Wonder what kind of wine would go with that?? maybe a beer.

The sun is out and I feel a little perkier, but it's not really the weather, it's because of the weather that I ended up with a bit of a scratchy throat & congestion kind of thing going. Just been feeling draggy so the sunshine helps; I'm used to clouds, haze, fog, etc. etc. and it usually doesn't faze me! lol

Sorry you're under the weather, Sharon! Hope it doesn't turn into anything serious.

We received terrible news today. Dear friends of ours lost their 32 year old son to pancreatic cancer. He just thought he had developed food allergies with his sudden onset of digestive problems...testing showed the cancer. It's still pretty much a death sentence, receiving that diagnosis.

That was 11 months ago, and now he is gone. He did do a lot of traveling and got some things knocked off his bucket list in the last 6 months. But screw that sh!t. We're heartbroken for them.

Terrible for anyone but especially for someone so young. Sorry for your loss Terri.

I had a pretty good case of the crud.
Been better for a while. But it's back.
Texas weather. If you don't like it wait a minute, it'll change.

Very very sad. Sorry Terri.

About 4 hours for us down here in La Mirada. Lodi is rewriting the book on Zins.

Oh, no. And with haggis, you want a fine single-malt.

. . . a bit of a scratchy throat & congestion kind of thing going.

That’s what I’ve been trying to get over. I think I got it on the Michigan trip.

That's awful, I'm so so sorry

FTFY.

It’s not that bad, or at least the stuff that’s here. Tastes more like the Scotch “seasoning” than anything else. Of course, I love scrapple (everything but the “ oink”).
