Sorry about the delay
everyone, Its now 10/20 and I realize I
haven’t posted anything for almost 3 weeks.
I haven’t been eaten by a bear or anything and am still having a blast! Some
friends have flown in and joined me in my adventures, so I took a little vacation from blogging and
going through pictures to spend time with them. I will be catching up over the next few days. Now back to the what I have been doing since
the first of October…
I continued down the road along the Avenue of the
Giants. And much to my surprise, guess
what another winery, in the middle of
the redwoods, so I had to stop. The place is named RiverBend Cellars, and is
in Myers Flat, CA. The wines were very
good and Don was a great help in telling me other wineries to hit on the
way. I bought a Sasquatch Red from him
(was good and I liked the label…)I finished out the Avenue of the Giants and headed south to Highway 1 along the California Coast. To get there from 101 it was a road full of curves for about 25 miles, I could hardly get over 15 to 20 miles per hour. It sure was fun, just would have been a little easier in a sportscar instead of the truck and camper (but they did fine). As I hit the California coast, I could actually see it this time, actually the first time the whole trip without fog. And just as I saw the water, the Beach Boys “Surfin’ USA” came on my random music. Nice coincidence.
I continued down the coast till I found the first
winery. The Pacific Star Winery is on
the coast with incredible view (and incredible wine). It is just north of Fort
Bragg. I liked a number of their wines and the one I
really liked was called “Dad’s Daily Red”
which was a blend. I bought a
bottle (actually 4), got some cheese and
salami, and went back to the camper and made a plate of mozzarella
caprese, and took my wine to enjoy the
view. I met a really nice couple from
Jackson Hole (near the Grand Tetons) and we talked about Sonoma and Napa
wineries and enjoyed the wine and the view.
