And we have been smiling in Wine Country - Sonoma and Napa. As lovely as New Mexico is in October, I must say that Northern California's Wine Country is equally lovely. Maybe not as enigmatically so, however. We went to a wonderful Harvest Festival at Cline Cellars in Sonoma, an event we have eagerly anticipated for several months. It was a blast - music, wine, delicious food, and friendly people. This little family-owned winery sits in a picture-perfect spot in Sonoma. It's one of our favorites, and we return there again and again. Also a favorite of ours in Sonoma, is the Oak Hill Farm, where we feel right at home! Little Bird Farm will be a better place because of our stops at Oak Hill Farm. The spirit and flavor of this place is just right! We drove on into Napa also, and had a bite to eat at Taylor's Refresher in St Helena. The bacon-blue cheese burger and Coffee Bean shake we shared there tasted fantastic, especially because we consumed it while sitting at a big picnic table under a shade tree out back.
Pumpkins, harvest festivals, delicious meals at picnic tables.....sounds like October to me!
