Wednesday on Westside Road

:: Surprisingly good lunch (and bloody mary) at the Rio Nido Roadhouse.

:: Visit to Thomas George Winery (formerly Davis Bynum) and enjoyed their 2007 Estate Chardonnay & Pinot Noir from the Russian River Valley.  We brought home a bottle of each.

:: We moved on up the road to Rochioli Vineyard & Winery.  A bottle of each of the Pinot Noir & Sauvignon Blanc were waiting for us from Steve's client.  I love presents.  Especially wine presents.

::  Twomey was underwhelming.  The sauvignon blanc was good, but the pinots were just okay and for $50 a bottle, they should be more than okay.

::  We ended the day by stopping by the Guerneville Lodge to visit our friends who recently took over the management of same.  They also own and operate the Valley Ford Hotel (in the town where we live).  It was charming and the deck & grounds were gorgeous.  We look forward to a Summer getaway with G on the Russian River and hope to stay in their lodge or book a campsite.

::  Great local day.
