This part of our trip started about seven years ago, when the Husband was out in San Jose for some training. On his off day, he ventured south and stopped at Niner Wine and bought me a wine club membership that we've continued to enjoy.
Over the years, as we receive our shipments, we get these flyers advertising all sorts of fun events - pick-up parties, new release parties, wine maker dinners, etc. This spring when we were trying to figure out where to go on vacation this year, a shipment came with the upcoming event flyer.
Things fell into place and we were able to plan a trip around a Fog Catcher Wine Makers dinner.
Wheee!!!
So after leaving Tehachapi on Friday morning, we headed west once again, aiming for San Margarita, Paso Robles, and San Luis Obispo.
We visited a couple of Missions:
 |
| Mission San Luis Obispo |
 |
| Franciscan Mission San Miguel |
We visited a couple of Wineries: Opolo Winery, Tooth and Nail, and Niner Estates.
 |
| Tooth and Nail |
 |
| Niner Estate, known for the heart on the hill |
And we went to the Winemaker's dinner. Which I realized above is the only picture I have from the Niner Estate's Winemaker dinner. Bummer.
Sunday was our travel day - leaving the hotel at 530am and finally arriving in Duluth at 1045pm. It was 75* and sunny when we left California...32* and sleet/snow/rain when we arrived. The joys of traveling.
Absolutely awesome trip.
