We’ll just start this one off with “Wow!!!” http://www.earthdayfoodandwine.com/ What a super cool event! They had it all goin on…beautiful site (Historic Santa Margarita Ranch), lots of wine & food, live music and a great crowd! The perfect way to spend a Saturday afternoon. This is the 4th year that the event has been put on by the Central Coast Vineyard Team http://www.vineyardteam.org/ which is a local group that is focused on protecting the resources that are valuable to their farms and their communities. The Team also created the SIP Certification which wineries can pursue to demonstrate that the value and promote Sustainability in Practice at their vineyards. On to the tasting, shall we?

Yeah for Mom! That was really cool ;-)))) So glad to finally meet up with you – you are superstars! And so glad you had a great time at our little party 😉
And, yes, less than 2 bags of trash (and my guy said it could have been less but there was broken glass in one of the recycle bags & he couldn’t sort it).
Hugs!
