After years of whining about it reminding me, I finally agreed to go to California and see the Wine Country.

The hotel, airline and rental car points had piled up, so the trips was practically free. Jim Ridgway was assuming command of the Operational Support Center Alameda. We did the “math” and decided it was time.

After 21 Wineries in 5 days, I was ready to try anything BUT wine. I managed to have a few beers and even tasted olive oils! Karen shipped so much wine home, the trip was far from free.
