The Coffee Shop: A place to relax and hang out.
Overcast and cool today, 66F presently, looks and feels like rain, but in California that's about all you get. Gary just finished kneading some rosemary, parsley, sweet & hot pepper bread. It is set aside for its first rise.
Gary is low on his vino and ordered a case from Nakedwines.com. Naked Wines is an odd marketing group. Gary believes they are a 501(c)(3) and they market smaller vineyards who normally would sell their grapes to the big boys. Naked Wines fronts the smaller vintners monies for them make their own wines. Recently, Naked Wines took all the profits from a promotional deal and donated the proceeds to help victims from the California Wildfires, (not just fire affected vineyards, but to organizations helping all the people caught up in the fires). If anybody likes wine, check out Nakedwines.com.
Gary is scheduled to hit the Temecula Wine County on Tuesday.
Leftover Pepper's from the backyard.

And that is the problem ... it goes fast and ends up on the waistline. We've already eaten about half the loaf and there's only two of us.

Yesterday Gary made some Turkey Meatloaf. Ground turkey is pretty bland, consequently Gary herbs and spices the hell out of it. Above is the chopped parsley, basil and peppers Gary tossed into the turkey meatloaf.It is delish!

A glass of Curvee Rouge and Sweet Angel’s Waltz. A grand way to start the afternoon.
Buenas Tardes Fellow Photographytalkers:
Mary Lou, Maggie and Gary have arrived in Temecula for an afternoon of wine tasting and eats.
Our first stop is always Thornton's for exceptional sparkling wines and absolutely great food.

The last grapes at Doffo Winery.
Yesterday was sooooooo nice. It was 74F in Temecula, blue skies, rolling hills filled with miles and miles of undulating lines of vineyards. We hit the three wineries where we are members filling up on free sparkling wines, picking up our orders, relaxing on the patios and chatting with other wine lovers.
A lovely day.

The pain of it all.
(It's tough being a guy. 
)Buenas Dias Fellow Photographytalkers. It is 49F presently, but should warm up and break 70F today. The sun is out, guests coming in so more cleaning and some wrapping. Gary does have to design and print a collage of his stepdaughter's play ... but it isn't the last minute yet.
