| Sonoma County |
Today was a beautiful day in Sonoma County. We went past scores of vineyards and wineries, including Fritz, Dutcher Crossing, Raymond Burr, Quivira, Armida, and Korbel among others. The grapes are about ready for picking this year. We stopped and tasted a few off the vines, and they were very sweet. One vineyard was in the process of picking their grapes this morning.

Oh yes, we also cycled today. I rode with Mark Koltz and Jeff Douglas all day and we took our time, making many stops along the way. Our first stop was at Korbel, where I tasted some of their Brut. Very tasty.

Next we stopped at the Union Hotel in the town of Occidental, where they had sticky buns that must have weighed a pound each. Very good and filling. We also stopped at Joseph Phelps vineyards (they also have vineyards and a winery in Napa) but did not do any tasting there.

In all, it was a very relaxed pace today and we did not get done until well after 2PM. A very pleasant day in wine country riding with old friends. Tomorrow, we reach San Francisco to conclude the second of three legs of our ride.
