70 Degrees

Mark and I are just tickled with seeing 70 degree temperatures before March. I feel like I have more energy to do stuff in this t-shirt weather. This morning, I finished running 2 miles by Alamo Creek.
And this weekend, we explored the wine country in Lodi. My co-worker gave us free tickets to the Wine and Chocolate Festival. It was a lovely, romantic way to kick-off our Valentine’s Day holiday.
We first stopped at the Michael-David Vineyard off Highway 12. I overheard folks from Sacramento and beyond drove down to this vineyard to restock on their vino supplies. I sampled the 2005 Earthquake Syrah by the duck pond. We learned that Lodi was all about the Zins. We enjoyed drinking every spot’s version of the Zinfandel.
Here’s Mark getting friendly with the barnyard residents at Michael-David’s. This winery had beautiful grounds for outdoor picnics and lazy walks. I enjoyed the 2006 Heavenly Chard with its buttery finish. I also enjoyed the 2004 6th Sense Syrah with its rich tones of oak and berries.
