Spent a lovely day yesterday cycling around Californian wine country, north of San Francisco. There are over 400 wineries in the region and it feels a bit like Tuscany, with all the vineyards and rolling hills.
The bike hire company admonished us to 'ride sober' and spit out any wine we tasted - but what a waste would that be!! We tasted around 15 different wines at 3 different wineries; completely delicious. I think we even managed to do a reasonable job pretending we understood as the owners talked about tannins and bouquet and production methods...One of the tasting rooms was in a cave which was rather groovy.
The weather round here is perfect, around 85F - makes a nice change after the nippiness of San Francisco. We're just about to leave and head over to the coast again to rejoin Highway 1.
