Heaven on Earth!

Once I was done shooting for the PTA convention it was vacation time! We hung around San Diego's Gaslamp District for most of Tuesday. The next day we drove north to Temecula and wine country; it was awesome! We visited more wineries than we can remember and brought home 7 bottles of reds and whites; I think I'm turning into a wine snob! That wouldn't be a stretch because I'm already beer snob :-)


First stop was Hart Winery; their Sauvignon Blanc was fantastic so we brought home a bottle. This is Bandit, their mascot.

I've never seen the bottling process before, either.





After visiting a few others we stopped at South Coast Winery and Spa and found they had one room left so we took it. Turned out they upgraded us to a suite but at the discounted rate. Our patio was surrounded by grape vines; it was the most amazing place we've ever stayed in.

We brought home 3 bottles of their wine; the Zinfandel was the best I've ever had.







Flowers were everywhere and their vineyard was huge. I would give anything to shoot a wedding here.
