Amador County Wine Tasting

Over the holiday break, Adrianna and I went wine tasting with our families.  I decided to keep track of my opinions, and then survey the group at the end.  Why?  Who knows... it just sounded like fun.  Here are the results of the wine tasting in Amador County "analytics" expirement.

Wine Tasting in Amador

Folks have a good sense of humor up here in Amador County.  We spent about three hours today with Robert van der Vijver at his winery and had a ball.  In addition to his personality, it also helped that his wine was very good... in fact we ended up leaving with some of it.

At another winery we visited, we saw this picture out front:



Another example of humor in Amador.  The people up here are very friendly, the wine is very good, and the tastings are still (for the most part) free!  In addition, bottle tastings are still possible in this area.  All in all, it is a fantastic place to visit in my opinion.

Christmas Carols

This is my first Christmas in CA, and this means that I'm around my mom's half of the family this year for the holidays.  Typically my brother and I return to Colorado for the holidays and are with my father's side of the family.  Here's one of the carolers from my mom's side:

I Just Voted...

VToday is November 2nd and we all know what that means.  It's time to step up and vote; to take a stand for what we believe in.  Today I voted, yes in the 2010 elections but almost as important, I voted for Justin Lutsky:

You can vote once a day.  We need to get Justin in the top 10 so Michael Bay can judge his short!
