Wine country...Missy...free time...seems like a recipe for trouble. Here we go...........
We entered this trip by making our first big mistake and ended up pulling the fifth wheel through some non RV roads at 10 MPH around 9o degree curves through the woods, around the mountains and down the coast in fog. We got off that trail as soon as possible, endured some scolding from my mother and are better planners for the experience.
I have to tell you all it was a total new experience for both of us and less fru-fru than I thought it would be, just classy. We visited three major wineries, Kendall Jackson, Blackstone and Chateau St Jean. At Kendall Jackson we spent a couple hours doing a private wine and food pairing and while it was exquisite it was also very educational about the art of wine and food.
Blackstone was short sweet and fun but the crown jewel was Chateau St Jean where we chose to do their private reserve tasting.... Just amazing to gain an understanding of the top tier wines and how the complex flavors interact with food.
If you love wine this area is awesome, I hope to be able to convince Missy to leave at some point.
San Fran next
