Winery! Food! Cats!

Despite one reader's observation that this blog does nothing but talk about food and cats (Pete Todd!) I am going to proceed with the following post!

We passed this little winery on the way to our campground and had to stop in one day to check it out. I had this romantic idea that it would be this super old wooden building with loads of gardens around it, great food and wine and we'd have a really nice lunch. But how many times have you walked into a place with those types of expectations ("I bet this Italian place will be super authentic!") only to be totally disappointed? I cynically thought, "Either this place'll be closed or it'll be totally lame with some cheeseball gift shop and overpriced scented candles and wine."

But I was wrong! This place was EXACTLY what I'd hoped (although the wine wasn't so great). And the BEST is that while we were sitting outside, I said, "The only things missing in this place are some CATS." and that's when I saw the kittens!

The pictures of the yard do not do this place justice. It was so lush, and the kiwi fruit vines over everything was a great touch.

What else IS there to talk about besides food and cats?

Also, that picture of Tama highlights how TINY he is, just like June - it's not until I pick her up that you can see how little she is.

Also also, that shade of blue is an awesome color on you (in case I haven't said that 375 times in the past).
