We are a little behind in our posting but wanted to try to bring everyone up to speed on our most recent activities. Thomas' parents had the opportunity to visit us at the end of September for about 5 days. The week was pretty full and included a nice dinner at our house, some time at the beach, a long day of wine tasting, and a visit from the Bakersfield family as well.
Thursday we took the day off to show them around some of the 'unblemished' areas of Paso and the wineries where we both work. It was a big day but they were able to cart home 2 full cases of wine on the plane. We started the day at Four Vines, travelled from there to Whalebone, then on to Tablas Creek and Carmody Mcknight Estate. By this point we were all getting a little weary so we went back into town for some lunch. We then pressed on to EOS Estate Winery and took the grand tour of the entire winery facility. Unfortunately, there were no grapes coming in for crush. One last stop took us to a family favorite, Eberle, but not much tasting went on by this point in the day.
T & K really enjoyed the Zins at Four Vines. Camerin's favorite was Tablas Creek by far due to their production of Rhone Varietals. Thomas couldn't pick a favorite.
All in all we had a great visit. It was a lot of fun to have guests out. We can't wait for more people to come!
