We thought that we were well overdue to finally visit some of the fine wineries that California has to offer. Its beautiful driving country, and so so so green!
The first wine tasting (at Gainey Vineyards) we did was ok - apart from the very noisy birthday party which crashed our nice quiet afternoon out. Wines didn't exactly win us over either. But they did have a great fall harvest display.

We then tried to find a winery with a restaurant attached - do you think we could find one of those? Of course not! Who would serve food with wine! So we headed into Solvang for some more Danish goodness for lunch.
We then found ourselves at Bridlewood winery. This hit the spot, and as they specialised in Reds (which is a bit rarer in this white wine country) Murray was very pleased. We bought home a wonderful bottle of Port. I was going to save it for Christmas... but whoops... the cork fell out!
Apparently there is a film called Sideways which features many of the wineries in the region. I'll have to check it out some time. Maybe add it to my Netflix.
