New To Us

What started as a whim...turned out to be a real find...a trip to Temecula's wine country...about an hour north of us down here in San Diego...seeking to stay the nite at South Coast Winery...however, it was totally sold out...the receptionist there recommended the next door site of Ponte Winery...they each had hotels...albeit, not cheap...it was a surprise of surprises...

Immaculate as it could be...ie, a terrific pool and hot tub...having 2 restaurants and bars...extremely friendly staff...and the rooms were as nice as we have ever stayed in...total class...and after a brief walk thru the vineyards, was the tasting room...and their exceptional restaurant...as per usual, we joined their wine club...awesome discounts prevail...which covers all over the complex, ie, the Hotel...

The din din we had was incredible...I had a filet and Marsh had the salmon...topped it off with a better than ever strawberry shortcake...with some really fine red wine from Ponte...just a great getaway from work...wait, we don't work...well, we got away from here...thx again to them miracle Mackles who took the dawg under their wings...

I must say, kids...if you are in the area, this is a MUST do...it is that good...

Some stuff...

Told you McGregor was all show, and no dough...

Manny did get the All Star nod, after an injury to the Atlanta kid...

Bet the Bucks tonight...

Lucas Glover won?...wowser, it has been like 10+ years, right?...PGA...

Suddenly, the Pad's bats have holes in them....limping into the All Star game...the rest of the pitchers is sorely needed...

You see the score of the Saturday Bums/DBacks game?...LA did a pouring it on jobbee...hit 3 td's en route to a 22-1 lambasting of Arizona...

It is a truth...the Olympics in Japan will have no fans...

90 is the number of bodies that have been found from the Miami collapse...such a tragedy...

Even tho, the losses to Buddy's Rocks hurt, the 53 wins for the 1st half, is the 2nd most in SD history...

I understand it is preOly...but for the USA to lose to Nigeria in hoops is embarrassing...right?...

Gosh, for some reason, Hos been getting hammered on social media...quit that dudes...he's a good player, in a game that fluctuates like no other...

I get that many in the world, love soccer...the Horse does not...playing that long...and have a game end nil-nil...no way buddy...now, to play it...like I had a college class of it...it was fun to play....but watch it?...nope...

A mass shooting at the Denver All Star game was thwarted!...what is wrong with people?...lock 'em up for a long time...

This post will be the Sunday/Monday version...as it took us a bit to get home and I have an early tee time tomorrow...see you all on Tuesday morn...
