Let’s just say that one of our friends, one of our very good friends, sent an invitation to dine at the Justin Winery just east of Paso Robles. The trip reminds me of how fun it must have been to visit Hearst castle in the 30’s navigating over old country roads… it took a while to get there, but the dining experience more than paid for Mr. Toad’s Wild ride! We enjoyed a marvelous five courses, each served with a specially selected wine ranging from the fruity and sweet early in the evening to a full on Cabernet over three hours later.
Karen really doesn’t drink, but she did sample each of the wines at the appropriate times and seemed to thoroughly enjoy herself! … and who wouldn’t?
I deeply appreciate our friends kindness and generosity… how can I ever properly thank him?
