We ventured ever so slightly out of our standard circle this weekend, just to mix things up a bit. \u00a0Not Friday though; \u00a0Friday we just sat on the back patio with the neighbors and enjoyed the sun. \u00a0Quiet, but fun. \u00a0Not Saturday either… \u00a0Saturday we didn’t do much of anything. \u00a0I fired up a batch of homebrew, which between getting everything ready and cleaning up afterwards can take the better part of a day.<\/p>\n
Sunday, though, we actually left the house. \u00a0We met some friends early-ish for a tasty breakfast, then headed to Placer County to check out their “wine trail.” \u00a0We mixed in some crafty sort of stops along the way, for the sake of variety. \u00a0I think we ended up checking out three wineries in all, although the names escape me already. \u00a0Since we’d made the trip anyway, we stopped in Knee Deep Brewing too and played a few rounds of cornhole. \u00a0That pretty well killed the day, so we met up with a bunch more people at a Mexican restaurant, scarfed some dinner, and called it a day. \u00a0A more thorough blogger would add a stop-by-stop synopsis of the day, with details on the tastings at each winery. \u00a0I ain’t got it in me. \u00a0Maybe next time I’ll take notes or something.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
