Had a majestic day yesterday: three beautiful wine venues, two vineyards. The trip was a gift for my client's friend who had never done a proper wine tasting anywhere in CA.

Funny story: my client said they nailed the blind taste test, which apparently the server said no one had succeeded at that whole week! …while his friend was betting against him.

Bonus, I was able to get to know the servers and have my own cheese tray paired with a vintage 2026 San Pellegrino! ;-)

Dropped off some new clients for a private tasting at Ridge Vineyards.

The view is incredible. 2,240 ft elevation.

Avoid the nonexistent parking, traffic & of course, a DUI 😅 Instead, enjoy your day and the wine!

Please, please, please don't drink & drive; even one drink can do it.
