It’s Friday, February 8, 2019 and my business trip to Southern California has come to an end.
As stated before, anytime I'm in California I must go visit with Mike and Mav. They have just settled into their new home, and what a nice place it is!

For those who aren’t familiar with the Wojo’s, they are the best wine/dinner hosts you can find in Southern California. They happen to be relatives too!
Not only was I able to attend, I brought my Institute colleague and her boyfriend Bryan (update, she got engaged the next day) for an afternoon of wine tasting, paired with a nice cheese and charcuterie platter.
The weather was absolutely fantastic which allowed us to take an afternoon off and enjoy a flight of wines on "The Rooftop."
For those who care, here’s what we drank:
Rose
- 2017 Falcor Rose
Whites
- 2014 Costa deOro Chardonnay, Reserva Dorada
- 2016 Aubert Chardonnay, Hudson Valley
- 2017 Carmenet Reserve Chardonnay
Reds
- 2005 Alto Moncayo Garnacha

And now it's time to share the additional wines I enjoyed throughout the weekend at various venues, including dinner at the Bel Air Bay Club, and at the new home with my son Jackson.
