my husband, the psycho asparagus....



we went to silver lake sand dunes yesterday. i was excited to go, but the excitement quickly turned to realizing that the trip would prove to be one of the most uncomfortable, depressing and horrendous day trips of my life thus far.

the dunes were amazing, though i'm still spilling sand everywhere. we went to 2 wineries. i've never done a wine tasting. i had it envisioned differently. the first one we went to, jomagrha, was comfortable, yet totally not what i was expecting. the room was small. there was a guy, a counter and 8 wines to taste...and a whole lotta fruit flies. the owner was super nice and cool. we liked and purchased 2 wines. very reasonable. the other winery, tartan hill, was a snob fest. as soon as i walked in i felt a chill. i was trying to make the lady smile and warm up, but it didn't help. the winery was beautiful but the wine was lacking in flavor and the woman was not very pleasant. i think i could handle living on a vineyard though!!

...so...the 40 minutes or so in wineries and the hour at the dunes was fun, but the lessons learned were priceless...

1. go on trips with friends or folks you know well and
2. my husband rocks, even when he turns into a crazed asparagus

Haha, yeah, that lady is something special. Will and I were at tartan a few weeks ago (his mom has a cottage down the street) and found her less than pleasant.

We did get some good wine though. Stick with the whites there, the reds are awful!

that's too funny Monaca! i was kinda thinking that it was just me and my obvious lack of wine knowledge. it's strange to me that someone like that, who pretty much sells wine through their personality, would be so unpleasant. oh well..
