First stop was Gifford Hirlinger, a serendipidous discovery. Loved his wines. Favorites: Merlot, Malbec, Tempranillo......yum... Very nice visit with the winemaker. Then downtown to DaMa. Dawn & Mary rolled out the red carpet, gave us a large table by the window where we ate our feast, tasted their wines and purchased. Cowgirl Cab. There was time for an hour of shopping after. Then to our last adventure, north to Robison Ranch Cellars. Great wine, great prices, charming hosts, Brad & Ruth. Superb day!
