SWMBO thinks I am awesome...

Awesome! when you going? We are actually heading over there for our Anniversary in a few weeks, there is a barrel tasting event in Sonoma for $20 and you get tastings at a bunch of wineries from the barrels! We are doing Sonoma/Napa and then she even said we need to do RR and Bear Republic! Our SWMBO's rock. Cheers.

Not until May. We are in 3 wine clubs and will do tours and barrel tastings at those places. After that we just go where the wind and the wine blows us.

Help ME!!!!!

I need to trick SWMBO into planning a trip to St Louis so I can visit Schlafly.

So far as I know, St Louis doesn't have the chick appeal of "wine country".

Southern Illinois has an impressive number of wineries however and one recently opened microbrewery.

You will love the barrel tasting on "Wine Road". My wife and I are going as well. We go to the barrel tasting and the Food & Wine event in November every year. We ALWAYS stop at Bear Republic, RRBC, and Lagunitas! I think we will try to hit Moylans this year too. Some of our favorite wineries are Mill Creek, Matrix, and Hop Kiln.

We'll have to see how timing works out. This'll be the first time we travel with our new baby. He's only 6+ weeks old so his schedule will unfortunately dictate ours to a point. Seems like Lagunitas is only beer + munchies so maybe on our way up from San Fran we can stop there. Then hit up RRBC for dinner one night. Is the food at RRBC good?

The beer is what you go there for lol...But the food is good. I'll second the pizza, it was unexpectedly very good.
