Highlights: Day 3 of Wine Week. In the realm of staying on the path around my daily routines, best practices, dietary constraints… I'm pretty much skidding all over the road. I've not gone over the rails, but I'm relaxing (read: abandoning) some of my better judgment in exchange for, let's face it, having fun. We stopped at Hahn on the way down, and I wasn't impressed. Wrath never disappoints, thankfully, although both seem to be hiring newbies or just lowering expectations of their staff regarding guest management. A great wine can make up for a mediocre visit, but a mediocre visit can make or break a perception. We checked it, settled in, and picked up groceries while Jen managed the dogs. Overall they're doing great. Scottie's been his usual self, but Lucky's stepped up his game and started adapting to travel better than I'd first expected. He's still a fucking pain in the ass but less so and improving daily. He'd likely say the same about me. Toying with CBD dosing is hard to measure but may be a contributing factor (the dog, not me). Chronic was excellent; we picked up our shipment and opened one of the six tonight. We ended up swinging by Eberle afterward, which was a challenge due to Lucky's inability to keep his shit together if another dog is in the same vicinity, but it was lovely to return. I was wearing down by then. I worked in the am Monday and Tuesday and will work all day tomorrow while Jen goes to see her Cousin Jill at a mid-point between her and SoCal. Today we went to Cass and realized we'd been there before for lunch. The wine was excellent, surprisingly so, and we bought four bottles. Waving a tasting fee with a purchase is a good incentive. After Cass, we visited Rava, down the road, recommended by the pourer at Cass. Meh. Nothing made a strong impression. Back at the Airbnb for the evening, enjoying some wine, cheese, salami and the welcome change of scenery.
