Skiing and Wine









Debra and decided to see how much we could pack into one day of fun and excitement. So, Wednesday morning we woke up and decided the beautiful weather just needed be taken advantage of. We went to Mt. Rose Ski Resort first so we could take some private lessons to help tweak our skiing a little to improve our speed and abilities. The instructor was first class and helped us out quite a bit by the end of the lesson. We were dropping down the mountain faster and smoother than before and I could tell that Debra's confidence was up quite a bit on the steep stuff. We were very happy with Reinier (the instructor) and have nothign but good things to say about the time he spent with us. About 11:30 we decided to head over to El Dorado County and Amador County to hit some wineries, pick up some wine from our wine club, and then get a good Italian style meal before coming back to Carson City. The weather in California was perfect. Warm, sunny, and all the plants are starting to really green up. Being a Wednesday, there was almost no one down there and it was fun to look around without the normal groups of people wandering around the area. This area is known for its high quality Zinfandel Wines and there truely are some great ones in the area. We ended the day with some great food and then made the trip back to good ol' Carson. Yeah.

Dad, if you are reading this we got you two bottles of Zinzabar.
