In the morning Amy and I jumped in the car and headed for her Aunt and Uncle's place in Santa Rosa. They're out of town for the Thanksgiving weekend, but were kind enough to leave the guest house open for us. We found the place without too much difficulty, dropped off our stuff and changed clothes. The drive up the coast had been very gray and cold, but when we left the guest house shortly after noon the sun was out and it was starting to warm up.
We visited five wineries in the Dry Creek Valley of Sonoma County. In order of visitation the wineries were: Ferrari-Carano, Teldeechi, Unti, Yoakim Bridge, and Pezzi King. The first and last were large landscaped places with fancy tasting buildings where we were largely ignored due to (I'm assuming) our casual dress. The other three places were delightful boutique wineries where the people serving the wines were also the ones making the wines. I bought from those three wineries - strangely enough all I bought were Zinfandels.
After the wineries closed we headed back to Santa Rosa. We had dinner at a great Mexican / Spanish restaurant then headed back to the house. Reading about / planning our India departure, the hot tub, and a bottle of red occupied the rest of the night.
