Friday's events, 7/2

This was a day of relaxation before the long ride back east. Spent a few hours visiting a couple of wineries. The first was Kendall-Jackson. They had a beautiful garden adjoining the tasting building with a tour of the garden. One interesting thing about the garden was that they shaped apple trees into a trellis, just like grape vines. Marilee and Steve signed up for one of those high end wine deliveries shipped every two months. I will be sure to invite myself about the third week of every odd month for dinner!

Next was the Rodney Strong winery which had fermenting equipment on site which was a cool thing to see. Apparently this is very similar to beer making according to Steve. The rest of the day was spent drinking wine and smoking a cigar after dinner.
