Day 27 - Wine Tasting at Bridlewood

Last nights dinner with friends at the Wine Cask was very entertaining. I had a little over two glasses of wine a green salad, rack of lamb served with dandelion greens and my cheat dessert... cheesecake with fresh strawberries. I kept my cheat to only dessert because I knew that they were serving a not so Paleo lunch at the winery the following day.

I had a portabello mushroom topped with a little ground beef and a one fried egg for breakfast. We left for the winery in the Goleta fog and saw blue skies as we headed to Santa Ynez.

We finally were able to get some sunshine!

 They served a cheese, cracker, nut, dried fruit and chocolate platter. I stuck with the cheese (the lesser of all evils), nuts and half of a dark chocolate truffle that was melting in the sun.

We came home for dinner. I made shrimp cakes, similar to crab cakes, steamed broccoli and a salad with heirloom tomatoes, avocado and walnut oil. This was my first recipe attempt with a new website. Both Justin and I thought the shrimp cakes turned out really well.

I had a plucot (plum/apricot) after dinner. It's early. I'll probably have some dark chocolate later.
