Together at last

Donnell and I had a wonderful day together. I can hardly remember the last sister date that we had, this one is sure to be engraved in my memory forever. It all started with the fun Mini Cooper that we drove through the wine country of Santa Barbara County. As we were driving to our first destination, Melville Winery, the 101 freeway was closed. We decided that our detour would take us through the Wine Ghetto of Lompoc, Palmina is a favorite of mine and they focus on beautiful and unique Italian varietals.

Our reason for going out to the wine country other than celebrating my sister's birthday was to attend the Melville Winery Pick-up party. A fancy gig that had 3 seperate tastings of 6 flights. Or something like that. We sampled some delicious rare to come by oldies, we sampled the current small release to the club members and last but not lease was the current pouring sample.

Not only was the wine amazing, especially the Carrie's blend. The food was to die for. Chantrelle mushroom, manchego cheese quesadillas, I think I was following the caterer around just so that I can keep eating them or was it that she kept finding Donnell and I b/c we loved them so much. Anyway. ......







The perfect evening sunlight for the perfect daytime activity. Happy Birthday Sis, I love you.
