These photos were uploaded in the wrong order - so they start a night's end after WAY too much drinking! They will become less blurry and less embarrassing the further down you go!
Santa Barbara is beautiful. It is about a 90 minute drive northwest of LA.
Once we arrived at the wineries, we purchased a 'tasting'. $10 for a glass with the logo of the vineyard (which we get to keep). Micah and I split a tasting since he was the designated driver and didn't want to drink too much.
We were then served anywhere from 7 - 11 wines (about 1 - 2 ounces each taste). We did the swirling, the sniffing, the tasting - very sophisticated!
We also had a wonderful picnic compliments of Jode: cheeses (lots of cheeses!), meats, breads, grapes, veggies, etc...And of course, a bottle of merlot!
