My sister, Roro came out from Colorado for a brief visit this weekend. She and Mom drove down from Pacific Grove and we went wine tasting and visited family in Fresno.
We were responsibly irresponsible.
We didn’t drink and drive our way to Fresno, although there are a number of wineries along the way. On Friday when they arrived while I was at work, Roro and Mom checked out a few wineries then when I got home she and I went to one of her favorites from a previous visit.
We went to EOS Winery. Eos being the goddess of dawn often portrayed with Pegasus she was cursed by Aphrodite to have an insatiable attraction to younger men. How tragic.
We had a blast!
I tend to be very responsible and usually the designated driver but I turned the keys over to her, had some wine and immediately got loopy. I’m a cheap drunk. By the time we were on our 3rd sample I was actually flirting back with a couple of guys bellied up to the same counter.
Saturday we drove over to Fresno to visit family and again had a blast. When we returned, Roro and I went to another handful of wineries. Although most had the drier reds so we didn’t do a lot of sampling, Ro prefers the sweeter wines, the sights were beautiful.
The late afternoon sun turned the fading leaves golden and the grapes were hanging full and nearly ripe. Fall harvest is just around the corner. I’m making plans to go to some of the harvest events this year.
Hope to see you there too!
