We arrived at Skinner late Thursday night and set up camp, had a few glasses of wine then off to bed - a very cold bed! No heat, something happened with the fuse for the hook-ups, so we froze! Brrr!
In the 'spider' tent set up for cards, eating, shelter from the rain, yes, I said rain - that is two years in a row it has rained on the camping trip!
Finally figured out to trip the breaker for the hook-ups, yay there will be heat tonight! Hung out, went for a run and visited waiting for Corynn and J to go wine tasting.
Off to the wineries for some wine tasting today with J, Corynn, Gabe, Lorielle, Jamie and De - we visited several wineries; Keyways, Wilson Creek, Robert Ronzoni and Leonese - it was a gorgeous day!
wine perspective!
Gabe and Lorielle!Our first stop was Wilson Creek, J and Corynn are still members there and get special attention and discounts, so we drank, shopped and drank some more!
Here's a pic of all the girls, it was Krammer's first time tasting!
After Wilson Creek we headed to Keyways.
Otto and De at KeywaysOn to Robert Ronzoni where we had a little picnic w/ salami, cheese and crackers and of course, a cigar and some vino!
Otto, me, J and Corynn at Robert RonzoniWe got in trouble for having beer here, the owner, Robert came out and scolded us! He just told us to put it in cups as he could get fined for allowing alcohol, other than what was bought at the winery, consumed on his property. He is a really nice guy and we felt bad! I didn't realize that, well, you learn something new every day!
We left Robert Ronzoni and headed to Leonese for our last tasting of the day. We ordered some appetizer pizzas, purchased some local flavored honey and took in the magnificent view!
Looking out back behind Leonese winery
What a view!
Heading back to the campsite for dinner, cards or whatever else the evening brings!
De, Jamie, Gabe, Lorielle, J, Corynn, Otto and me at Leonese before heading back to camp.
Back at the campsite, we grilled steaks, ate and drank some of the wine we purchased at the wineries. Then headed over to the campfire for some good times.

No caption necessary!
As we packed up, hating to leave this beautiful spot, we are thankful for the time we had with friends and family and look forward to the next camping trip together!
Parting is such sweet sorrow!
