We made it into California...
After the plane landed around noon, went to pick up the rental car, checked into the hotel, then out for a wine tasting adventure...
We started out at Fogarty winery up in the mountains... I just LOVE rental cars with the Neverlost system... Just throw the address in there and voila, you are on your way... Took us about 40 minutes to get up there from the hotel... We were supposed to meet some friends up there, but the friends who have been there before got themselves lost ;-) We had some absolutely WONDERFUL chardonnay, some crackers and snackies and then headed off for the next destination... Any winery that has a kitty cat hanging out is my kind of place...
Next, we went to Picchetti winery... Great place with more great wines... Their port was absolutely to DIE FOR!!! Sampled that along with the chocolate fondue that they had going... Absolute HEAVEN!!! Our last wine there was a 2001 Angelica... they call it "liquid love", it was more like an orgasm in a glass... OMG!!! Words can not due justice to this wine... I had to pick up a bottle... Yummy...
Then, we were off to Yo Yo Sushi for some dinner... Yup, what's a trip to California without having bait for dinner at least one night??? MMMMMM.... Then back to the hotel for some sleep...
Day 2 was a little less exciting... Spent the day in class to get our factory authorization... Whee... Afterwards, came back to the hotel then picked up folks to go out for dinner. We were at YanCan for some yummy chinese food... A couple of the folks with us decided to try Saki for the first time... ROTFLMAO!!!! The food was really, really good... I had never had sweet and sour chicken with mint... MMMMMM....
Time for some sleep... Tomorrow starts the 2nd part of the audit... Realized when I tried to update the blog that the connection for the camera to connect it to the computer is back in Albuquerque... Guess everyone will have to wait a couple of weeks to see the pix...
I finished my socks yesterday... Did a gauge swatch on the Socks that Rock yarn... Will start the new pair tomorrow ;-)
