kiss me kate

Baby Kate hung out with us this afternoon while Felicia went into work and Shaun/Jack flew home from Sacramento. I love her ... even if she didn't sleep a wink during the five hours we had her :)

fight on!

First SC home game of the season, well, that I could go to!

kalyra grape stomp

After I returned home from Sedona, I woke up on Saturday morning and we headed out for yet another girl's wine tasting weekend in Santa Ynez. The trip was focused around the Kalyra Grape Stomp, which is pretty much the entire reason Diana and I became wine thieves in the first place. The day was filled with ...

... grape stomping

... mushy grapes

... un-fermented Wine from the Barrel

... artistic shots

... pictures with Kalyra owner Martin Brown

If you haven't been to a grape stomp before, GO! It's a little un-nerving at first, but then you get into it, and I've been told grapeseed oil is good for the skin :) And really, the Santa Ynez Valley is one of California's gems.
