For my efforts I was 1 for 2. <a href="https://www.brookswine.com/">Brooks Winery</a> had some very nice and aromatic whites with a very special nod to their Gewürztraminer. I seriously wish I had bought more than just a half a case. Also, their tasting room was pretty hoppin’. Most of the tasting rooms in the WV are pretty small and quiet, but not Brooks.</p><p><a href="https://elkcove.com/">Elk Cove</a> on the other hand. Well, their wines were ok. And the road to their winery was rather rough on Stevie Ray. So I wasn’t in the greatest mood going into this tasting. But, especially compared to Brooks, the whites were just ok – better than average but not great. They did have a beautiful estate, though.</p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p><a title="20191004_142442" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/11562516@N00/48910853968/in/datetaken-public/" data-flickr-embed="true"><img width="800" height="600" alt="20191004_142442" src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48910853968_114c07e0ab_c.jpg"></a><a title="20191004_142413" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/11562516@N00/48911588017/in/datetaken-public/" data-flickr-embed="true"><img width="800" height="600" alt="20191004_142413" src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48911588017_bb465f48d0_c.jpg"><a title="20191004_142357" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/11562516@N00/48910854548/in/datetaken-public/" data-flickr-embed="true"><img width="800" height="600" alt="20191004_142357" src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48910854548_af1809cd16_c.jpg"></a><img width="600" height="800" alt="20191003_185454" src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48910854658_b697e38990_c.jpg"></a></p><p>And whenever I’m in McMinnville, I have to have the schnitzel at the Golden Valley Brewpub.

These are not the temperatures I’ve come to northern California for.</p><p>The first night was fairly chill. Dinner at a local German restaurant where I had my second schnitzel of the trip, Afterwards, a quick beer or two at the much hear of Tigers.</p><p>It was the second night where all the stuff happened</p><p>The evening started as so many evenings do, with several Irish Coffees at the home of Irish Coffees, The Buena Vista. Some may wonder how it is that Ireland’s two iconic beverages, Guinness Stout and Irish Coffee, just happen to look alike. I guess it’s just some crazy coincidence.</p><p><a title="buenavista" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/11562516@N00/48840177481/in/datetaken-public/" data-flickr-embed="true"><img width="596" height="800" alt="buenavista" src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48840177481_5179f96431_c.jpg"></a></p><p>Then it was back to Hog Island for oysters.</p><p><a title="oysters" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/11562516@N00/48840177456/in/datetaken-public/" data-flickr-embed="true"><img width="800" height="600" alt="oysters" src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48840177456_bbfb871ef5_c.jpg"></a></p><p>Do yourself a favor and find someone that looks at you like Sam looks at oysters.</p><p>A quick ferry ride back to Oakland.</p><p><br><blockquote class="instagram-media" style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255);

I woke up at 5am. 5 motherforking AM!! To start my 6 week Vanabout that just about circumnavigates the US of A. Sorry Florida.<br />
But as I was rolling into a rest area 30 minutes outside Wichita Falls to call into a couple of meetings, I made a terrible revelation. I left my new big honking battery back at the house.<br />
This guy:<br />

<br />
This is a vital element of this Vanabout, so after my meetings I had to turn around and go back home. After four hours of driving, I was back were I started, on my couch.<br />
I left shortly after my workday was over and got to experience both morning and evening Dallas rush hour traffic. Bur for my efforts I got this at Opa’s Schnitzel Haus:<br />

Firsts!<br />
This Vanabout will mark a number of firsts. So, I will try to acknowledge each time a first occurs every day.<br />
<ul>
<li>The first day of the Vanabout (Duh)</li>
<li>The first time I took a conference call at a rest area.</li>
</ul>
