My favorite winery of the moment is Viader. They've got a spectacular view and since they're by appointment only, the crowds are kept to a minimum. I thought I had some photos in side the place but I guess I was too busy drinking the wine. This wine is on the pricier side but well worth the investment if you enjoy fruity wines.
Also a favorite is Miner Family Vineyards. The vineyard itself is nothing to look at but the wines are good, solid wines. Try the Pinot Noir, Petite Syrah, Cabernet and Oracle (the oracle is my least favorite of those). The staff is very friendly and helpful. they gave us a free bottle of wine to enjoy. I'm sure it had nothing to do with the fact that I bought 3 wines and bert bought 6...and joined yet another wine club (HIM, not me). :) oh yeah...and the...eh hem...view is pretty spectacular. Brown hair, striking blue eyes. One woman, Kristen, actually said, "Man...you're hot" to this guy. She was my hero for the weekend. oops. sorry - off track. In any case, go the vineyard to for the wine, not the hottie that we enjoyed looking at (although it really did help the time pass). the wines are slightly less expensive than Viader.

jen-
why can't you favorites be part of your regular blog or vice versa?
because it's just a listing of random favorite things...
yes, but why a whole new web site for random favorite things? couldn't it all be on one site?
i didn't want to link it to my actual website, in case there was something I was trying to reference to a co-worker. remember the rule??
same with the recipes page - some of my co-workers ask for a certain recipe and i just forward them there...
Love Miner's too. Those stemless Riedels are hot.
jeni: but not as hot as the dude behind the counter!! wow!! striking blue eyes...brown hair...
