Just leaving the beautiful Bridlewood winery. To us Georgians, the excellence of California central-coast weather is a constant revelation. Bright sunshine all day, but with the low desert humidity, frequent breezes, and the world’s largest air conditioning system – the Pacific Ocean – it stays wonderfully comfortable all day long.

The wineries here are among horse ranches, vegetable farms, some small private houses, and the lovely golden hills. There’s a lavender farm we have saved for a visit tomorrow morning before we return to Global Gardens for some local olive oils and vinegars. We have happy happy taste buds.

Kalyra’s, and California’s, admonition to wine tasters.

Impending intoxfication aside, we unfortunately cannot take advantage of their generous deals on shipping wine to Georgia. We’ll have to put some our luggage and check it.
