Saturday

We had the best day today. We dropped Evie at camp, then drove down to Half Moon Bay. First, we had a nice lunch outside at Half Moon Bay Brewery. They make a bunch of beers which are very good. Today, I had the Sandy Blonde Hefewizen.

Then, we went to La Nebbia Winery for Bottle & Cork Day. We brought 4 bottles to be filled. It was the best $20 I've spent in awhile. $20 for 4 bottles! Now, get this. The wine is not from La Nebbia. The winemaker at La Nebbia goes up to Napa, Mendocino, etc and buys excess. So, the wine you get bottled is from Napa wineries but they just don't tell you which one. They said they have had big named wineries like Cakebread before. How crazy is that. A bottle of Cakebread will cost you $30+.

Anyway, we had our bottles filled and then there was FREE WINE. Oh yeah. Plus, tastings of 10 wines was only $6. Outside, they have a picnic area where people were having lunch. We will definitely do that next time. We might even go back next weekend because they are pouring white.

Here are some pics:



Erik, really excited about the wine
