A few quick updates on recent happenings.
First, Tim and I got away to Sonoma a couple of weeks back. We revisited 2 wineries we've previously liked - Kaz and
Imagery. The owner at
Kaz (Mr. Kaz himself) gave us an impromptu demo of how wine is made (by hand). At Imagery, a place specializing in esoteric wines and local art, Tim was blown away by the blueberry port.
We also tried 2 new wineries. One of them reminded us more of Disney Land than wine. The other was
B.R. Cohn (I never knew the
history of this Cohn guy!). Here are some pictures from B.R.Cohn's front entrance. Fun!
We stayed at the local Best Western. It is a down-to-earth H(m)otel and walking distance to the Sonoma square. The square is about as "downtown" as a Northern California small town gets. More importantly, it is where
The Girl and the Fig lives. Yummy.... We ate like royalty.
Some pics from the Square. Here is Tim in front of the historic Sonoma Mission.
A random (shall we say artsy?) shot taking with my
Android phone (NOT the iphone because I can indeed make and complete real calls!)
Lastly, I finished 2 projects recently. A simple cabled hat for Tim and some fingerless mitts for me. Both made out of the same yarn (
Araucania Nature Wool) and both easy-peasy. I told Tim I am only going to knit small stuff between now and the end of the year. I like it! Instant gratification (at least, as instant as it gets compared to sweaters).
Happy Thanksgiving all! Thanks for happy giving! Happily giving thanks!
