Journal Entry:
We tried to sleep in, but I woke up not feeling well - just yucky. I didn't really feel like wine tasting, so we went for a hike in Sugarloaf Ridge State Park, but less than an hour in I decided I didn't really feel like hiking either. We ended up back in Sonoma wine tasting. At the first winery we went to (Chateau St Jean) we found out there was a special fundraiser going on. The bad news is that we had to buy a $5 glass in order to taste and that all the wineries in the area were participating so we were stuck. The good news was that the wineries had a lot more wines available for tasting. Plus, some of the wines were a lot more expensive than the usual tastings. One of the wines we tasted sold for $130 a bottle. It was nice, but not that nice! We went to three wineries: Chateau St Jean, Kunde Estate, and Kenwood. They were all very nice large wineries. At Kunde we also toured the wine caves.

Back at the house we met Phil, Carolyn and Ashley (Amy's uncle, aunt, and niece)who had gotten back from their Thanksgiving trip. After a pleasant talk the five of us went out to a great dinner. After a bit more talking they went to bed and Amy and I jumped in the hot tub for one last time. I was still feeling bad and when I went to bed I even had a slight fever.
