@imallears I really miss my wine-drinking days and visiting wine country in CA -- Napa, Sonoma, San Luis Obispo, Pasa Robles, Santa Barbara, and even Temecula! Back then someone gave me a sign that said "Wine Diva". I really learned a lot about the process and enjoyed learning about it almost as much as drinking it. It was difficult to give away so many choice wines when I was told I could not drink anymore. I never was a heavy drinker (well, maybe the day in Temecula I was. Being a fairly new AVA they were pouring many "tastes". My son became the designated driver!) but the one glass with dinner was so enjoyable, a nice way to mellow out at the end of the day.

Also, because I always wear comfortable shoes my feet have no bunions, corns, calluses or any of that. I've had pedicurists tell me I have "baby feet"!
We are going to Denver the first weekend in February. Yes, I will be packing some dark chocolate bars.

@merpreb If @gingerw doesn't want to shop and enjoy a day like you describe, meet me in Boston and we can!
