Point Reyes and Tomales Bay vacation. Wine tasting at Fort Ross vineyards which had a member party and a live band playing zydeco. We tasted four wines and a laignappe late harvest chard. I liked the bouquets much better than the tastes. Next we attempted to visit Wild Hog Vineyards, which was a mistake. After 15 minutes a small road turned into a dirt road, then later the dirt road turned into a rough dirt road. Eventually after 30 minutes of difficult driving we reached a fence, then turned around to return the way we came. Back to Whispering Surf. Rested. Wayne and Peter arrived, then later still Richard arrived. Dinner: Phil prepared raw and baked oysters, manila clams with baby bok choy, steamed rice. Dessert: cheesecake, chocolate cake. The group watched Nightcrawler. I watched only part of the beginning before going to bed around 11 or 12 pm. The others stayed up longer enjoying the hot tub.
