Poker, cigars, wine, football, how can one complain.
My buckeye's got whooped last monday in the BCS Championship. It was a rough beatdown. Florida was certainly the better team and was well deserving of the shot they got. The only saving grace was winning money in poker at the cigar shop. At least something good came of the evening. The Eagles won their game while the Cowboys lost. That certainly made the weekend a bit better. The Eagles have since lost though so I guess I'll root for the sentimental favorite the Saints.
My wife and I spent this past weekend up in the Healdsburg/Santa Rosa area. They had the annual winter wineland event. All sorts of good food and good wine with lots of bargains to be had. Friends of ours who live up in the area let us stay at their place and took us around everywhere. Visiting wine country is always fun but it is more fun when you don't have to drive. We wen't to
Roshambo for a bit both days. It is always fun there. They also had 1 dollar wine for Wine Club Members. Everyone is always dressed up and crazy though so it's always good entertainment to go along with the wines. They are getting ready to move down the road so they had their new tour bus there for display. They are going to start randomly picking people up in the bus to take them wine tasting or to lunch and other things. The other wineries all kind of blend together after a few stops. We hit about 8 wineries each day. So many great wines and wineries and so little time. We will look forward to the Barrel Tasting Weekends in March.
The cigar shop is running poker tonight. Now that football is over they are going to show movies instead. Should be fun. They usually BBQ food and stuff before they play poker. The only thing better than BBQ is free BBQ. Hopefully my cards will be as good as the food.
