This weekend Joel and I went wine tasting at the Bonny Doon Vineyard Tasting Room in Davenport.

We had a great time. With each sip, we tried to guess the notes for each wine–a perfect date night activity.

We even ended up walking away with two bottles: the 2014 Old Telegram (Joel’s pick) and the 2013 Vinferno (my pick, obviously a dessert wine).

I always envisioned my first wine tasting expedition up in the Napa heat, with a floral print dress blowing in the wind. Since this was a spur of the moment idea, we decided to stay local. Therefore, I modified my idyllic outfit vision for the Santa Cruz wine tasting experience.

This weekend really cooled off, so I opted for a pair of booties, jeans, and a denim jacket.

I fit right in with the laid back and casual look of Santa Cruz.

If you’re ever in town, I highly recommend trying this place. They were informative, fun, and friendly. What more could you ask for?
