The Little Mermaid
We had breakfast here in Solvang and were served by this amazing 400 year old ultra Danish waitress. She was fucking pro. I didn't take this picture. I stole it from
Chantal Claret's Twitter She was there a few days after us and posted this pic.

Fiddlehead
This was the first winery we went to and one of the best. We got a bottle of Pink Fiddle. It was so delicious, I think I need to order myself another bottle.

Staci
My sister. This is the first time we've seen each other in 4 years.

Camera Envy
This is Staci and her boyfriend Matt and his awesome camera.

Beckman Vineyards
.....
This place was gorgeous but it didn't have the most memorable wine.

Stolpman
Then we went to Los Olivos and tasted even more wine that I could never afford. I wish that box o' wine was ours but it was Matt's. My sister did buy us a Hilltop Syrah which we have yet to drink. I really liked Stolpman. That was definitely one of my favorites.

I liked this place. We got a viognier that we meant to drink on our anniversary but didn't. So it's still waiting for us.

Andrina and Staci
We took a small break between tastings to get something to eat.

Drunks
There were several attempts at taking that picture. Here's one of the failed ones. We were drunk and looking into the sun.

Qupe
I don't even know how many places we went to in Los Olivos but this was the last tasting of the day. I barely remember this place.

Motel 6
We stayed at the Motel 6 in Buellton. It had the best bedspreads.

Staci and Matt
...............
They went out to eat at The Hitching Post. Tim and I stayed in and ordered pizza because there's nothing like Pizza Hut after a long day of drinking outrageously expensive wine.

Windmill
Taken from the moving car. the next day, February 14th, we went back into Solvang for breakfast and socks before heading to Santa Barbara.

Jauffers
I loved this place. It was run out of a house. There's delicious wine in them barrels.

Happiness
Look how happy he is about his wine.

Liquid Love
This was an unscheduled stop on recommendation from the Jauffers guys. I don't remember what it was called. But it was partnered with Westerly Vineyards or something. We got a viognier dessert wine from here that was made from orgasms. If I think real hard I can still taste it.

Crosswalk
There was some art fair going on by the beach that day so we walked around a bit and got some food before heading home.
