Over the weekend, my wife and I went into two
wine tastings down here amongst some of the great wineries
as I liked sixty five. Actually we are counting. My
wife and I are on a mission now as empty nesters.
There are sixty seven wineries amongst the peninsula, and it's
our mission over the next two years to go to
all of them.

Speaker 3 (00:46):

Speaker 1 (00:48):
We've already made it. And this is how to use
being an empty nest in a very constructive way. Oh yes,
they say needs to learn to play the ukulele. Why
not go weekend drinking with your wife? And so that's
what we're doing. So we've only made the dent. And
as you know, it's Saturday afternoon right as a break.
It was raining in the morning there and then in
the afternoon at the clouds part, it was a really

(01:09):
nice kinda you know, at the moment that weather's like,
you're not sure if we're out of winter. Does it
feel like We're into spring and it was just for
about an hour or two. It's beautiful, right, something that
the clouds part and the sun came out. We're doing
a you know, the wine flight. You try a couple
of reds, you try a couple of eyes. Would you
like anything? Do you want to buy anything? And as
I'm doing it, thinking, do you know what? This would
be a great thing to do on a Saturday with
