6.26.08: Wine Tasting in Carmel Valley

Vince and I drove up to Monterey for Alan & Annette's wedding reception a little early so that we could go wine tasting with some of their friends on Thursday. We ended up staying in CA for the week because of work (unplanned), but it worked out really well. Brent mailed me some clothes that I needed, and we were able to work, sign up a new client, and save a ton of money on gas...not to mention the time driving back & forth from AZ.

SOOO, anyways, back to the wine!!! On Thursday, Alan & Annette's friends Megan & Greg organized a wine tasting tour for 8 of us. We hit 4 wineries, had a picnic lunch that Megan had made, and had a ton of fun! Carmel Valley is a gorgeous place to go wine tasting. We have been to the Solvang/Santa Barbara/Los Olivos area, as well as the Temecula area on wine tours before. Carmel was new & exciting and we hope to go back again! Highly recommend it to anyone. Also, Vince and I made some wonderful new friends that we hope to see again very soon!!

Thurs night after the wine tour we had dinner at a BBQ place on Cannery Row. Both Alan & Annette's parents were there, as well as Katie (Alan's gramma), Alisa and the kids, Annette's niece Jessica, and Alan's uncle Robert & his wife. As well as all the wine tasting crew. Dinner was delicious and we had a wonderful night out!
