For
the first time on the trip Malena woke up feeling less than starving. This may
have been due to the 35 different ‘sides’ that came with our meal last night at
AJ Spurs Steak Ribs and Seafood in Buellton.
Today
we went on a wine tour around the Santa Ynez Valley wine region (approximately
200km North of LA). It was a fantastic day, but we weren’t the only ones having
a great time. At our first winery our esteemed host “Bradford” was smashing
them back too.
The
second winery doubled as a horse refuge for the stars. We had the absolute
pleasure and privilege of meeting Eddie Van Halen’s horse. The afternoon was enjoyed
sipping Pinot Grigios and sitting amongst the trees.
We
won’t bore you with details of the third and fourth wineries, let’s face it,
things were getting a little hazy by that stage anyway. All we need to say is
that the moment had arrived to test out our American accents. We met a great
couple so after the end of the tour we crashed their free, yes free, happy
hour at their hotel for a few beers before heading to our dinner reservation at
the Hitching Post, the last of our Sideways
(the movie) experiences.
