Well, my weekend was more like two with a full week in between...
We went out to LA to visit an old college friend of my wife's, then we all went up to Paso Robles to check out the Central Coast wines. My wife's old friend has a second home in Paso Robles where we stayed.
What a pleasant surprise that was! Most of the Central Coast wines we've tried here in Florida were just so-so to good. But out there we had some reserve wines (reds) at wineries we'd never heard of and they were as good or better even, than what we've had in the Napa and Sonoma valleys...and superior on a comparative cost basis.
For anyone who's into wine and has an opportunity to travel to this region, I'd heartily encourage you to go. Great wine, great restaurants, and warm, friendly people. A nice relaxing vacation, for sure!

Ah, nothing relieves the discomfort of GAS pains like the sound of the UPS truck rumbling down your street. It's like the musician's Beano.
