There is a company called Texas Winos. They take folks on a day-long bus trip to three different wineries around the part of Texas you’re in, along with a stop for lunch on the way. We’ve done the Winos tour from Dallas more than a few times, and we even did one out of Austin through Fredericksburg once. Yesterday, we went to real live California wine country, and by golly, it’s like we had been rehearsing all along. We stopped at one vineyard that was in the process of changing owners and names, so the glassware was emblazoned with a different logo than the wine bottles. No matter- it was all delicious, and the changeover was probably what prompted them to sell us some of their previous owners’ wines for so few dollars. We had a bottle to enjoy on the bus, just like we practiced in Texas.
From there, we headed to lunch in Sonoma. One of our fellow bus-riders commented that it looked a lot like the town square from Back to the Future, so Cas and I started to scan the place for DeLoreans. No dice. But there was an actual clock tower, so we suspected Doc Brown was still tinkering on his time machine, waiting for a stormy day. The lunch was fantastic- and naturally, there were wine pairings with each course. After that, there were two more wineries to visit, then back to the general area of Fisherman’s Wharf. We wrapped it all up with a seafood dinner and a walk back to the hotel. Today, we stuff dirty clothes into luggage and head back to Dallas, but maybe- just maybe- we can take one more ride on the cable car.
