Wining in Ventura County...It's not a back up plan...

After a short discussion about whether to clean out the office or go wine tasting, we agreed that we'd play on Saturday and clean on Sunday, so off to Ventura we went. Our goals for the day: Drop off a bottle of JD's own newly-bottled experiment (tentatively named 'ZinDickTive') to friend and consultant, Gary Stewart at Four Brix, check out new winery, Plan B Wine Cellars, and finish up at old fave, Cantara Cellars.

After a laborious drive - unusual for a Saturday - we arrived at Four Brix and were delighted to find the Stewarts, Gary and Karen, manning the tasting room counter. We caught up while we tasted. The topic of Plan B came up - the Stewarts told us we had to go there, and were happy to hear that it was already on the agenda. After tasting through the lineup, and getting some special tastes of not yet released wines, we took the under-five-minute drive to Plan B.
