Day 469

Nana and Papa walked a few blocks to The Landsby for a wonderful breakfast in Solvang. Note the Nana-style llama painting in the lobby. It was winery day in Santa Ynez and we first visited Sunstone Winery. Lovely spot to hang out for a while tasting wines, and the red blends turned out to be quite appealing. And two, Eros and Rapsodie, had James Paul Brown artwork on the bottles that Lynn recognized right away. Robob had some pieces of Brown which got passed down to Candace's family, so we got her a bottle. We got a couple others, too, for our artsy friends in SLO. We were still too full from breakfast to get anything at the Lucky Hen Larder which Trevor and Jen recommended (along with Sunstone), but the smells were fabulous. We did manage to buy a portable "fireplace" a few doors down, however. Then on to Vincent Winery, a high-end new winery also with some good wine, great nibbles, and a very comfy spot to sit and enjoy. We sent home a case. We finished the day with a nap followed by dinner at a favorite spot, Trattoria Grappolo in Santa Ynez. Today's photos start here.
