We are in St. George. It was 103 when we got in. The CA/NV desert was 105 during the day, and the desert was extremely dry. New sand dunes everywhere. The drought is extreme! But once you got north of Vegas, you noticed a greening of the brush. And, the smoke from the Blue Cut fire finally disappeared north of Vegas as well.
I enjoyed your descriptions of the vinyards, Jan. So, when we buy a Zinfandel that is “old vine”, the way the vines are grown is what makes the flavor of the grapes different? I enjoy a few of the Russian River wines. There are soooooooo many small wineries, aren’t there?
Mark, thanks for telling us about the round barns. It’s something I’ve never heard of. Interesting!
Well, it’s time to go down for breakfast. I think I’ll have a spinach omelet with sliced tomatoes this morning. :))
Good Morning, Vagabonds,
