My Grand Day Out -- Wine, Cheese, Bread, and Salami

After a grueling week of work (says my Mom), this past weekend we took Grandpa out for Father's Day breakfast and on Sunday we went to Sonoma to browse shops, walk the town, and eat!

Mom brought out lots of samples of food for me and Dad from this store, Sonoma Cheese Factory. I stayed under the table, enjoying the shade and eating the cheese and salami samples and later I got to eat lots of bread. That's pretty fine treatment I say!




My Dad and I stayed outside at one of the wineries, Sebastiani Vineyards, but when my Mom went inside, look who she found! We didn't know dogs were allowed inside.


We thought only Casper was allowed inside wineries?? Had we looked at the Sebastiani web site in advance of our dogventure, we would have known dogs were permitted because there is a dog on the main page of their web site!

I searched for Ronak since he knows fine wine, but he was nowhere to be seen, so I partook of the wine by myself. Well, okay, so I only licked the outside of the glass. Then my Mom finished up the wine and had forgotten I had licked it earlier. She's silly and thinks she's got cooties from me now.


Ohhh, I'm getting woozy. But at least I am stylishly dressed to match the color of the wine. A girl has to look good when she goes out for a day on the town.


Here are two pictures some have questioned. I have been accused of being more than a bit tipsy in these two photos. The reality is my Mom was insisting on taking more pics, but I was trying to look at a dog I spotted and my Mom was hindering my view. "Mom, you're in my way!" Honestly, I wasn't inebriated in these photos and I didn't lose my sense of balance. Honestly. I'm innocent.

I think you are very innocent in the last pictures. Wine?? Really?? My brother, Chester, has already been known to sneak a lick or two from my mom's wine. You two might need some intervention.
I do believe you are back in social butterfly mode with your ambassadorship and now this grand day out with gourmet foods too!
