Thanks, Doug (and others). The actual birthday was spent doing not very much (which, nowadays, is high on the list of desirable ways to spend a day). We had an oenophile friend visiting from out of town, so on the two previous days we'd had nice dinners cooked on the charcoal grill accompanied by some of the local California produce (two Pinot Noirs from the Santa Maria area). We had intended to drink one of the two bottles he'd brought from his cellar, but as I was still getting over a summer cold we decided it would be a shame to open them. One is a bottle of Mouton Rothschild (1986), and the other is a 1970 Musigny Comte Georges de Vogue. Nice kind of friend to have, no?
He flew out on Friday night, heading off to Australia for some Southern hemisphere stargazing (his major hobby is astronomy). Then on Saturday my wife and I went to a wine tasting event held in the Santa Lucia Highlands area. Unfortunately the weather wasn't really cooperating - the temperature hit 100 in the Soledad area - but it was slightly cooler in the foothills.
