California, the abbreviated version

I didn't make this breakfast—The Red House Cafe in Pacific Grove did—but it's too pretty not to post.

And this is just one flight I enjoyed during an afternoon of wine tasting in the Carmel Valley.

Finally, I like this plant. I don't know his name, but he carries himself nicely. Nice water droplets, too. Just outside the Mission in Carmel.

Wine

Wine-tasting, reds and whites, a flight of each, at the Georis winery in the Carmel Valley.

Favorite white: 2012 Sauvignon Blanc.

Favorite red: 2010 Petites Vignes Cabernet Sauvignon.

Second favorite red: the more expensive 2009 Georis Estate "La Chapelle."
