Harvest Season in Wine Country

 

Emu-licious.

I love living a short ways away from wine country. Wine is yummy of course but the scenery is even more delicious. We hit up a new place and became acquainted with a few emus. I think of them as Dinosaur Birds. Those claws, those thighs, those prehistoric faces. I fed this friend wild strawberries.

Tasty! Grapes are so multifaceted...wine, juice boxes, PBJs, grapeskin extract, grapeseed oil....and:

Raisins. California raisins, in fact.

Cheers to wine country.
