Nancy & Barb Visit Twisted Oak

Nancy continues with their wine explorations. "Our next stop on the wine tasting route led us to Esther's cousin! You know Merle's sidekick the rubber chicken who has gone on several trips and eats shrimp! As we walked into the tasting room we looked into a glass case housing Esther's family member who quite honestly resembles a chicken nugget. Let us not tell Ester about her cousin as he/she looks like a museum artifact. The chicken nugget family member will be very jealous of Esther's travels to far off places while she is in a glass box. If you remember, Merle and her crew (Barb and I) did the complete tour at Twisted Oak in Vallecito, CA."

Twisted Oak Winery and Rubber Chicken Forest

Next stop is to the Twisted Oak Winery and Rubber Chicken Forest. Humorous experience of a winery. I'll never forget that we went into a cellar area to taste a wine that was still aging in the vat. The winemaker brought his dog on the tour and after we tasted the wine he said, "I hope none of you mind dog spit". He put the turkey baster in the dogs mouth to lick some of it. I guess he expected to use it in another wine. Here are some photos. A few on the way to the winery and one of the main building.
