Saturday found me at the beautiful Corral de Tierra Country Club in Salinas, CA. I was pouring our 2009 ETC Chardonnay and 2009 Manu Pinot Noir for the Wine, Women and Shoes gala...what energy! Imagine over 300 women thrown together for the sole purpose of shopping to benefit charity. The vendors were amazing...of course, the signature items are hand crafted shoes. Original, sexy, inspiring and gorgeous.

To complete the great afternoon, I ended up with my trusty sidekick, Auntie Vicki, and we tasted great wines from Adam LaZarre at Terranova Fine Wines. Adam ran around the corner and brought back excellent sushi from Sakana Sushi Bar, for all of us...what better way to spend a Saturday?
