Pouring and more.

Today was an awesome day. I woke up and headed out to Livermore to go to the White Crane Winery. It was awesome. I arrived there at around 11:40am, a little bit early so I walked around, took a quick snapshot with my phone



That's a little bit of the vineyard.

I met up with Dino who is the son of the owner and he took me to the wine tasting room. It was there where I met my other fellow volunteer wine pourers Jackie and Lindy. Lisa arrived later, at first we thought she was our first customer. We were encouraged to drink on the job so that way we would be more familiar with the wines we were pouring which was awesome cuz I totally thought I'd just be pouring and stuff. We also had to work the register and do a little bit of this and that, it was all fun. Sampled wine and chopped it up with the folks that came in and with each other. Very cool and laid back casual feel, super opposite of what I was expecting but hey it's for the better. Here's a shot of the wines they were selling and a little bit of the tasting room.



I think that's my thumb booooo, kinda weird with this new phone. But yeah, there's the wine, in order from what I remember from left to right was. Sparkling, White Zinfandel, Pinot Grigio, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Syrah, Port and Chardonnay Port.

After that headed to Christina's for her grad party. Kicked it, chopped it up and caught up. I was gonna leave at around 11 and somehow I ended up singing karaoke for like 45 minutes pretty much all me. LOL. Headed back home and now I'm here. Super fun day.
