Toads in a Hole, and wine!

AKA Cowboy Hats, Egg in a Basket, Alabama Eggs, Rocky Mountain Toast

It’s important to toast the bread on both sides before inserting the egg.   I didn’t think of this for the first batch.  Meh.  Still tasted amazing, especially as the top layer of my cheddar, asiago and blackberry grilled cheeses.

I talk a lot of shit about being healthy, but damn they were tasty.

We just got back from our trip to Los Alamos for Wine Weekend.  It was amazing.

Shoestring Winery, SB County

Here’s the list of the vineyards we visited:

1. Brander
2. Shoestring my favorite of the four.  The owner came out and talked to us about her wines.
3. Melville
4. Dierberg had one sexy pourer.  All the girls, and us three gay dudes, were drooling like idiots.

We stopped in Los Olivos on the way home for another round of tastings.  Yes the bus ride was amazeballs but it was at this pit stop where I discovered my new favorite vineyard: Saarloos & Sons We bought the Pinot Noir dubbed Extended Family.  Super funky on the nose, earthy and rich to taste.  It threw me on my ass it was so delicious.

Oh wine, my friend and foe.
