Coming from Wine Country


   As you all probably know, Derek and I have really loved living in Santa Barbara Wine Country. Although we didn't go wine tasting all the time, we certainly enjoyed trips up to the Valley or around town to sip our favorite wines and enjoy some leisure time with friends and family. Well, this pastime of ours has certainly made itself known this week.

   In our adventures of unpacking, we have discovered that we currently own 83 wine glasses! Yes, a shocking number. And this is after we donated several boxes of wine glasses to friends last summer for their wedding. As we started going through them, we discovered that we really only have one or 2 of any given winery...Apparently our indulgence in wine has not been focused to merely a handful of wineries. I'm glad to see that we covered a good number of the establishments in Santa Ynez over the years.

   So now the challenge becomes - which ones do we keep for mementos and which ones do we donate or give away? Which wineries are our favorites? Which wine glasses make the cut? It will be a challenge, and not quite as much fun as acquiring the glasses was, but I think we can do it.

Wish us luck!
