Fair Play Wine Tasting

Shelley and I got up this morning invigorated for a morning hike. However, since California is mostly on fire these days, we decided to detour to Fair Play, CA and taste some wine. We only hit two places in Fair Play:

Windwalker Vineyards - Very friendly people and good wine. I'd tell you what we bought, but the bottles are downstairs and I'm feeling lazy at the moment... wait, I remember we got the port. Did you know you can't call it Port anymore unless the wine comes from Portugal? Me neither.

Mt. Aukum Winery - Also good wine, but a bit dry for my taste. The Zinfandel was very good so we bought a bottle. It's a nice drive up to the winery... just make sure your car can handle the climb. I imagine that we would have some nice photos to share in this post, but most of the view was obstructed by all of the smoke.
