We took care of some chores this morning and then headed downtown for lunch before driving to some vineyards. We ate at a French place so, of course, the portions were small and expensive but tasty. When we got back in the Jeep it would not start. John found a multi tool and banged on the battery terminals and it started right up. Its a mystery as to why this is happening. Its not the first time but we would like to get it fixed so its the last time.
Our drive today took us to Northstar Winery who had a very nice cabernet, Abeja was closed, and Dunham Cellars. They had mostly red wines at Dunham, cabernets and syrah, with about 7 vintages to taste but they kept opening wines from their library for another patron so we got to taste them too. We thought the Syrah wines from 2006 and 2007 were good but we expected better from these older wines. So we bought a white wine.
After driving around the country side and residential areas of Walla Walla we ended up back downtown. John found a tasting room to stop in while I shopped at a couple of toy stores for the grandsons. When I finally got back to John, he had tasted a couple of rye whiskeys (not wine?) and was enjoying the music of an 80-something lady pianist. We spent another hour at the bar before going next door for a pizza dinner.
After the heat of the day it was nice to lay back and enjoy our A/C and TV.
