Our last day in Amador county was a little rough for me. Several days of wine tasting, eating out, rich foods, the occasional bar....It was hard work. Actually, my body hated me by the last day and night there. I struggled through a couple tasting rooms here and there, hitting pretty much every other one. Several I had to step outside for some fresh air at. I think it may have been lunch that kicked my ass to start off.
This was my Appitizer. A full plate of everything Smoked.
We then saw some 130year old vines at Story Winery, the vines looked like they were going to come alive, something out of a horror movie or Harry Potter.
We stopped at Dobra and met a really nice husband and wife team that worked for an "obsessed Croatian".
And stopped somewhere (really can't remember, someone will see this dog and remind me), the owners of this winery went to a fundraiser auction and just wrote down bids on everything, well, no one else bid on this dog (from a local California fast food chain), so, they now own a $300 dog head. They moved it onto the winery to give the kids something to do. (You should see some of the signs posted in wineries concerning what will be given to unattended children, pretty twisted stuff. Funny, but twisted).
A month later, one of these doggie heads sold for 3grand a couple counties away and someone tried to get an additional $2700 from the winery.
When leaving, I went to bed around midnight, still messed up as far as sleep schedule goes, maybe fell asleep around one with alarm set for five. Woke up at four (am), had to be at airport by eight, caught a flight around nine. But, as I walked out into the garage area to load up the back of the rental I saw this
Now, I know this was put on the floor while I was asleep to inspire some sort of imbarrasing feeling, worried about whom may look at it after we leave and giggle. But, that was someones drunken idea. Personally, I think it might mean a lot more to someone looking at it right now.
