Sonoma Wine Tasting

Spent the day Wednesday around Sonoma and NAppa, wine tasting. The great thing about this area, the tasting are free. Most of the other regions we have been too, central coast, Temecula, Oregon and Wahington all charge $5 to $10 for a tasting, which we would usually split. Of course, you get to keep the glass! Great, just what we need traveling in a motorhome, a bunch of wine glasses. Anyway, tasting in Sonoma makes for cheap entertainment. A common theme in Sonoma seems to be the $40/bottle wine. Well, that just doesn't fit in the budget. Since we've been on the road, we have discovered many fine wines under $15! Many of our favorites are every bit as good as the $40 Sonoma offerings. Lesson of the day: Big bucks on wine doesn't always mean better quality!

We are planning to take a road trip over to San Francisco, some time this week. We'd like to go to Alcatraz island and visit some friends. The weather here has been great, 75 to 80 during the day and 50-55 at night.

Not much else to report, for now......

Hi, I've been following and enjoying your blog for awhile. Hope you find a place that fills the bill around Marana.

Now, you have to share your $15 and under wine pics!

Be sure to avail yourselves of the audio tour at Alcatraz. It's worth the bucks - adds a *lot* to the experience.
