As big as two football fields, it is designed to simulate bay water conditions for research. This is the only one of its kind in the world. A visit begins with a short video providing background on the exhibit, which is viewed from ramp snaking through the immense building. Interpretive displays help make this complex scientific project understandable to the layman. A small adjunct museum tells about shipbuilding here during World War II. <br /><br /><a href="https://www.spn.usace.army.mil/Portals/68/docs/Bay%20Model/BayModelTourBrochure.pdf?ver=2020-05-28-135244-433">map download</a><div><br /></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto;

A variety of tequila cocktails are offered--I enjoyed a tasty, colorful Blood Orange Margarita--on the “rock,” as in over one giant ice cube. A large variety of tequilas and tequila flights are also an option, not to mention beers, wines, and sangria.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNpU9UYbKeb7ijCKn3OJMS8I0z5TXZInLdcfL9EDqEcUbNzl3Gf5JZSrsz8P2JsMFCYm8sLXlXyC-30mlzqjJtTa9WJBVMm8Z0FNabv-sADXqy3cYnbC1Gx1W2U0qEyx0-e6imqQ7ZDuHVDYJN-0SAI7-uj7jDi0I9ejPpZ6XczSOIQwzvhCtSt3G0Mi6T/s600/SAUSALITO-Copita-blood%20orange%20margarita+large%20ice%20cube-c2024%20Carole%20Terwilliger%20Meyers.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="Blood Orange Margarita at Copita Tequileria y Comida in Sausalito, California" border="0" data-original-height="450" data-original-width="600" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNpU9UYbKeb7ijCKn3OJMS8I0z5TXZInLdcfL9EDqEcUbNzl3Gf5JZSrsz8P2JsMFCYm8sLXlXyC-30mlzqjJtTa9WJBVMm8Z0FNabv-sADXqy3cYnbC1Gx1W2U0qEyx0-e6imqQ7ZDuHVDYJN-0SAI7-uj7jDi0I9ejPpZ6XczSOIQwzvhCtSt3G0Mi6T/w400-h300/SAUSALITO-Copita-blood%20orange%20margarita+large%20ice%20cube-c2024%20Carole%20Terwilliger%20Meyers.JPG" title="Blood Orange Margarita at Copita Tequileria y Comida in Sausalito, California" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Blood Orange Margarita at Copita Tequileria y Comida in Sausalito, California</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /><br />Appetizers include a delicious tortilla soup stuffed with shredded wood-roasted chicken and plenty of avocado, roasted Brussels sprouts, a tasty guacamole or chips and salsa, and several ceviches. Tacos are a menu favorite and available in twos and fours. Fillings usually include al pastor (spit-roasted pork with carmelized pineapple salsa) and carne asada (flank steak with charred tomatillo salsa). Chicken, fish, and cauliflower are also often options, and sometimes you’ll see oysters, lobster, or shrimp. I opted for crispy pork belly with pickled red onions and pumpkin-seed mole and was not disappointed.

An accomplished chef, she has hosted several cooking shows on PBS (“Joanne Weir’s Cooking Confidence” and “Joanne Weir Gets Fresh”) and written several cookbooks, my own favorite being “Kitchen Gypsy,” in which she tells enticing tales from her Chez Panisse days and shares a few of the recipes used here at Copita. </span><br /><br /><div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgE5xcSJn0BKFkOI5_VJNL7DTalageskOYW5-t1aKFVkpDt0ewwb5r0AFcxN2bcAvEK96o4h73xs2_cdSBIlqpgBseTRraQdr72NdxLv768QQdr_h6ucU034XXp_oPAMRENWzsnqvWDM0bZS1l47oHGiUvg-yVTl9iP-7oKmTyXH3NKMZRIydX7Ew7sVSK5/s600/SAUSALITO-Copita-rotisserie%201-c2024%20Carole%20Terwilliger%20Meyers.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="wood-burning rotisserie at Copita Tequileria y Comida in Sausalito, California" border="0" data-original-height="450" data-original-width="600" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgE5xcSJn0BKFkOI5_VJNL7DTalageskOYW5-t1aKFVkpDt0ewwb5r0AFcxN2bcAvEK96o4h73xs2_cdSBIlqpgBseTRraQdr72NdxLv768QQdr_h6ucU034XXp_oPAMRENWzsnqvWDM0bZS1l47oHGiUvg-yVTl9iP-7oKmTyXH3NKMZRIydX7Ew7sVSK5/w400-h300/SAUSALITO-Copita-rotisserie%201-c2024%20Carole%20Terwilliger%20Meyers.JPG" title="wood-burning rotisserie at Copita Tequileria y Comida in Sausalito, California" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">wood-burning rotisserie at Copita Tequileria y Comida in Sausalito, California</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><a href="http://weekendadventuresupdate.blogspot.com/search/label/Sausalito" style="background-color: white; color: #2932d5; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; text-decoration-line: none;">More things to do in Sausalito.</a><br style="background-color: white; color: #191919; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #191919; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif;"><br /></span><a href="https://www.berkeleyandbeyond2.com/northern-california-roads-to-adventure-index/" style="background-color: white; color: #2932d5; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; text-decoration-line: none;">More ideas for exploring Northern California.</a><span style="background-color: white; color: #191919; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif;"></span><br style="background-color: white; color: #191919; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #191919; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #191919; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif;">images <span style="font-family: "times new roman", "serif";">©</span>2024 Carole Terwilliger Meyers</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #191919; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif;" /></div><div><span style="background-color: white; color: #191919; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div></div>Carole Terwilliger Meyershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07421213159579496045noreply@blogger.com0Sausalito, CA 94965, USA37.8590937 -122.48525079.548859863821157 -157.6415007 66.169327536178855 -87.3290007tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-737728249356577795.post-38024745083665906802024-02-26T14:22:00.000-08:002024-02-29T09:15:21.240-08:00San Francisco: San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (SFMOMA); things to do<p> <span style="font-size: medium;"><b>San Francisco</b></span></p><h1><b>San Francisco Museum of Modern Art</b></h1><div><span style="font-size: medium;">Polka dot madness has

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;">Reminiscent of psychedelic blob
shows, these art installations are vibrant but still. Approximately six viewers at a time step into
each white cube and are enveloped in dazzlingly colored shapes repeated
endlessly via mirrored walls. Though I enjoyed just being within the colorful spaces, and took plenty of photos, the
idea is to convey a feeling of “unlimited potential and possibility.” I left mostly satisfied and happy. </span><span style="font-size: large;">“Infinite Love” runs through September 7,
2024.</span><span style="font-size: large;"> </span><span style="font-size: large;">Tickets to the show include admission to the museum if you purchase in advance.

Commissioned by the Migros Museum in Zurich, this
piece is an homage to the Swedish pop band ABBA and was titled by the director after
their final album. It takes place in a
rambling old mansion on Rokeby Farm in upstate New York’s Hudson Valley, where
the director and some musician friends from Reykjavik, Iceland, spent a week
eating and drinking and finally, on the last day, filming. On 9 screens, the piece depicts eight rooms,
each inhabited by a musician, and shows simultaneously what is happening in
each room as it adds to the whole, melancholic piece. It is interesting to know that the person in
the bathtub playing a guitar is the director.
The piece runs an hour long, and I think it is worth staying for the
entire show. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;">This is the piece’s second
installation at the SFMOMA. I saw it
during its first run here and loved it.
I’m so pleased to have had the chance to view it again, because I enjoyed
it even more this second time. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXkx16KCu7KFqlxDaPq3WHgHlENsLj0WkXilVrQ26p7G7poIvoHhaFQS5tH4UBKWHvf7jHQbCYum3QZs8teVgpGRbHk87q-YLq_zDUUhQ3CZ4SMJEFaHRUALfrnAf8SH1Syj22d6urS-E0oWyBr5xOw5PyF9_V0uQ5IJNOBqazj1M8TOt-M1Ix9ply3ouO/s600/SF-SFMOMA-The%20Visitors-entrance-c2024%20Carole%20Terwilliger%20Meyers.JPG" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="entrance to "The Visitors" show at SFMOMA" border="0" data-original-height="450" data-original-width="600" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXkx16KCu7KFqlxDaPq3WHgHlENsLj0WkXilVrQ26p7G7poIvoHhaFQS5tH4UBKWHvf7jHQbCYum3QZs8teVgpGRbHk87q-YLq_zDUUhQ3CZ4SMJEFaHRUALfrnAf8SH1Syj22d6urS-E0oWyBr5xOw5PyF9_V0uQ5IJNOBqazj1M8TOt-M1Ix9ply3ouO/w400-h300/SF-SFMOMA-The%20Visitors-entrance-c2024%20Carole%20Terwilliger%20Meyers.JPG" title="entrance to "The Visitors" show at SFMOMA" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">entrance to "The Visitors" show at SFMOMA</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span><p></p><p class="MsoNormal"></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikTRp714_0mGl0nbU8BAMDZIxfIz3c_jBdeNLml0bciRk6Z2QILP2_hQmvqHyqpCWq9dlJxfZrJHGZt-ozpEfaepbywzsnrEMA6r6TpsmngU8nnDe6V557S6083WOnD7SqLODJ8VA1uyUpQxEAwfXjfKT4Orh2D1sRwJW0BTu1bV6plniTPwGMmqlPtlrv/s600/SF-SFMOMA-The%20Visitors-interior-all%20screens-c2024%20Carole%20Terwilliger%20Meyers.JPG" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="interior of "The Visitors" show at SFMOMA" border="0" data-original-height="450" data-original-width="600" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikTRp714_0mGl0nbU8BAMDZIxfIz3c_jBdeNLml0bciRk6Z2QILP2_hQmvqHyqpCWq9dlJxfZrJHGZt-ozpEfaepbywzsnrEMA6r6TpsmngU8nnDe6V557S6083WOnD7SqLODJ8VA1uyUpQxEAwfXjfKT4Orh2D1sRwJW0BTu1bV6plniTPwGMmqlPtlrv/w400-h300/SF-SFMOMA-The%20Visitors-interior-all%20screens-c2024%20Carole%20Terwilliger%20Meyers.JPG" title="interior of "The Visitors" show at SFMOMA" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">interior of "The Visitors" show at SFMOMA</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span><p></p></div><div><span style="font-size: large;">The museum’s next Free First Thursday</span><span style="font-size: medium;"> is April 4 from 1 to 8pm; reserve

Antiques on Second is tidy and clean and an absolute pleasure to browse. Plenty of wine and champagne glasses are for sale--the perfect souvenir of a trip to the Wine Country. I almost bought the black-and-white ceramic rooster because years ago I bought its chicken mate at another antiques shop in Eugene, Oregon! But, unfortunately, I managed to restrain myself. It looks like I am already regretting that decision. </span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto;

My husband’s favorite is the Sesame, toasted and with plain cream cheese. My favorite is the delish Everything with lox schmear, which blew me away. It is truly a build-your-own bagel, so you can top yours with butter, jam, or Nutella, vegan cream cheese, or some veggie bits. But if all this requires too much effort for your early-morning brain, you can also just order one of the pre-designed classic sandwiches--The Classic with lox, or The Mensch with whitefish. Coffee is just coffee, nothing to get excited about but it does the job. <br /><br /><br /> Owner Emily Winston thinks that this might be the first bagel factory built and owned by a woman. And BTW, “boichik” is a Yiddish term of endearment for a young boy or a young man.

Pastry cases are packed with flaky croissants, moist banana bread, stacks of cookies, savory bread puddings, and plenty more. And don’t miss the spectacular English muffins. Breakfast sandwiches made with the muffins are available. Note that Oprah has them flown to her house, and I always purchase some to take home. </span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEGiN7ePZuqCtYhfzFsxmnKdWSAnpbXeWUJLB6poLEYHmdHNmtZprxJ4Qs1YkBZJmdDFw7NXJhxzfgpvIDCjcTsm1AQt7C2oTzmjwD637Qp0ub4C7ip2ia8REES-CU2JfhnJEtqhKdhTmMyiETp5Dr8iIAay3IVYG3wU5dl3KP-093pLQsUnygQ5SqFDp2/s4032/NAPA-Model%20Bakery-pizza%20slices-c2023%20Carole%20Terwilliger%20Meyers.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="pizza selection at Model Bakery in Napa, California" border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEGiN7ePZuqCtYhfzFsxmnKdWSAnpbXeWUJLB6poLEYHmdHNmtZprxJ4Qs1YkBZJmdDFw7NXJhxzfgpvIDCjcTsm1AQt7C2oTzmjwD637Qp0ub4C7ip2ia8REES-CU2JfhnJEtqhKdhTmMyiETp5Dr8iIAay3IVYG3wU5dl3KP-093pLQsUnygQ5SqFDp2/w400-h300/NAPA-Model%20Bakery-pizza%20slices-c2023%20Carole%20Terwilliger%20Meyers.JPG" title="pizza selection at Model Bakery in Napa, California" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;">pizza selection at Model Bakery in Napa, California</span></td></tr></tbody></table><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOOzRbPTbC8SCW4WZ6GLsOgrnG_cxjdshdry7-uZaThOfr8stSMubu4_hILp_CD2oQ_81GoAIy2zti-Uii64OkbK76nkWiFQoCnz3R0wgTLqOznZHLsHULES72ESOq0cw4tTJ6DXzgCuafbbdxQsqeSaJJWX9am35M4Wo3v3TpupYWMh27l8ktUVCccUMx/s4032/NAPA-Model%20Bakery-lunch%20box-pizza+cookies-c2023%20Carole%20Terwilliger%20Meyers.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="pizza and cookies at Model Bakery in Napa, California" border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOOzRbPTbC8SCW4WZ6GLsOgrnG_cxjdshdry7-uZaThOfr8stSMubu4_hILp_CD2oQ_81GoAIy2zti-Uii64OkbK76nkWiFQoCnz3R0wgTLqOznZHLsHULES72ESOq0cw4tTJ6DXzgCuafbbdxQsqeSaJJWX9am35M4Wo3v3TpupYWMh27l8ktUVCccUMx/w400-h300/NAPA-Model%20Bakery-lunch%20box-pizza+cookies-c2023%20Carole%20Terwilliger%20Meyers.JPG" title="pizza and cookies at Model Bakery in Napa, California" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;">pizza and cookies at Model Bakery in Napa, California</span></td></tr></tbody></table><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;">Seating is available outside at umbrella-shaded picnic tables.

Sauces are freshly made and do not include MSG. Stars on the menu include empanada-like curry puffs, thick Panang beef curry, and atasty pumpkin curry. Dark brown rice and a large selection of seafood and vegetarian items are also available.

My favorite is the simple ham & jam, for which the biscuits are made in house from an old family recipe (they are on par with my own recipe for <a href="https://www.berkeleyandbeyond2.com/super-simple-recipe-cream-biscuits/">Cream Biscuits</a>).

It is interesting to see the three concrete fermenting tanks which are

are aged for 22 to 36 months . . . and where the winemaker discreetly stores
his surfboards along the back wall. </span></div><div style="font-size: x-large; text-indent: 0px;"><span style="text-indent: 0.5in;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-indent: 0px;"><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="font-size: x-large; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxhDqpDlAiOTvGhBXWYJsZZ0kbQctJufcPghJmbqbetbQCitUHkjwiWl1mv54m0uEsqFGNuxleqMkwfNLB4xspVpyrEiKag5Nt-9BcAf2QiAZxSmtBKulQd3kdOxn2Bp8MYy9USO3x40iT-zWGxM1BQZprE7l5ek-z0NhwSfiHC04Z09nHHj36pR8tnKgE/s600/SILVERADO%20TRAIL-NAPA-Quixote%20Winery-tour-barrel%20room%20entrance-c2023%20Carole%20Terwilliger%20Meyers.JPG" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="entrance to Barrel Room at Quixote Winery in Napa, California" border="0" data-original-height="450" data-original-width="600" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxhDqpDlAiOTvGhBXWYJsZZ0kbQctJufcPghJmbqbetbQCitUHkjwiWl1mv54m0uEsqFGNuxleqMkwfNLB4xspVpyrEiKag5Nt-9BcAf2QiAZxSmtBKulQd3kdOxn2Bp8MYy9USO3x40iT-zWGxM1BQZprE7l5ek-z0NhwSfiHC04Z09nHHj36pR8tnKgE/w400-h300/SILVERADO%20TRAIL-NAPA-Quixote%20Winery-tour-barrel%20room%20entrance-c2023%20Carole%20Terwilliger%20Meyers.JPG" title="entrance to Barrel Room at Quixote Winery in Napa, California" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;">entrance to Barrel Room at Quixote Winery in Napa, California</span></td></tr></tbody></table><br /><span style="font-size: x-large; text-indent: 0.5in;"><br /></span><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglKMYNXW8OCGA3bP8IwAqG-GreqUo5zV2q1uYxXVQNVPszZn5cwScfaWX9HY0p1dHTRTJT-NaxFUQHAn0D5v9-9oOElA5vQz8Xmd5xlf129Ku9HnGGM-pUJeUqKmw-8r03mcdlpmhfxLnI9hZO23BAfgM1cxMlxobZO_DOEh9p4x1yx2TidiA4CjycrcJa/s600/SILVERADO%20TRAIL-NAPA-Quixote%20Winery-tour-concrete%20xx-c2023%20Carole%20Terwilliger%20Meyers.JPG" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="concrete fermenting tanks at Quixote Winery in Napa, California" border="0" data-original-height="450" data-original-width="600" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglKMYNXW8OCGA3bP8IwAqG-GreqUo5zV2q1uYxXVQNVPszZn5cwScfaWX9HY0p1dHTRTJT-NaxFUQHAn0D5v9-9oOElA5vQz8Xmd5xlf129Ku9HnGGM-pUJeUqKmw-8r03mcdlpmhfxLnI9hZO23BAfgM1cxMlxobZO_DOEh9p4x1yx2TidiA4CjycrcJa/w400-h300/SILVERADO%20TRAIL-NAPA-Quixote%20Winery-tour-concrete%20xx-c2023%20Carole%20Terwilliger%20Meyers.JPG" title="concrete fermenting tanks at Quixote Winery in Napa, California" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;">concrete fermenting tanks at Quixote Winery in Napa, California</span></td></tr></tbody></table><br /><br /><br /><span style="text-indent: 0.5in;"><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="font-size: xx-large; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6_CEDCWm60H_jXWfGcj5qPKeGm93K1jB9b4QRrSgWmikPnWbHT6HrZ6FTnbnyW5YaBHg1mXTfBgElcRr5MYylwUhD5za1SRu9OdlRsvp_5-yT6WSO3ahFL-jG5_roW8NxIrQosxllYPm3Lz9Kst7VKT4gwbeHq3xW3h2LhqlFhwEW6NeZqa4OYC-CaMBz/s600/SILVERADO%20TRAIL-NAPA-Quixote%20Winery-tour-barrel%20room-surfboards%20on%20back%20wall-c2023%20Carole%20Terwilliger%20Meyers.JPG" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="barrel room at Quixote Winery in Napa, California" border="0" data-original-height="450" data-original-width="600" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6_CEDCWm60H_jXWfGcj5qPKeGm93K1jB9b4QRrSgWmikPnWbHT6HrZ6FTnbnyW5YaBHg1mXTfBgElcRr5MYylwUhD5za1SRu9OdlRsvp_5-yT6WSO3ahFL-jG5_roW8NxIrQosxllYPm3Lz9Kst7VKT4gwbeHq3xW3h2LhqlFhwEW6NeZqa4OYC-CaMBz/w400-h300/SILVERADO%20TRAIL-NAPA-Quixote%20Winery-tour-barrel%20room-surfboards%20on%20back%20wall-c2023%20Carole%20Terwilliger%20Meyers.JPG" title="barrel room at Quixote Winery in Napa, California" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;">barrel room at Quixote Winery in Napa, California</span></td></tr></tbody></table><br /><br /><span style="font-size: large;">Quixote
is known for their Petite Sirahs, which are described as savory on the nose
with big, chewy tannins, and perfect to pair with a steak. But it also makes tasty Cabernet
Sauvignons. Tasting an array of the
winery’s silky-smooth reds is a must. My
favorite is the new Rocinante, a Bordeaux blend. As I tasted it, I thought of it as dancing in
my mouth.</span></span><span style="font-size: x-large; text-indent: 0.5in;"> </span></div><div style="text-indent: 0px;"><span style="font-size: x-large; text-indent: 0.5in;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-indent: 0px;"><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIDapWxf0cIDDL-ETCJBxBjPzya3ZcRAD52fLzGTgRAT4hyKCUbqP2p_w8Jrf4vCymxtnTp5HbCT4g5akrVKs22Tjd7kECSFyg1FY_LRCAnhQ3sUTlZsQqH5tirwnn4MghaHppclGZsiQvdXt-VMmbwkULZjUt60VVSjwDoiqaNTU67xipUedp4xohr8ZY/s600/SILVERADO%20TRAIL-NAPA-Quixote%20Winery-tasting%20room-tasting%20set-up-c2023%20Carole%20Terwilliger%20Meyers.JPG" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="tasting room at Quixote Winery in Napa, California" border="0" data-original-height="450" data-original-width="600" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIDapWxf0cIDDL-ETCJBxBjPzya3ZcRAD52fLzGTgRAT4hyKCUbqP2p_w8Jrf4vCymxtnTp5HbCT4g5akrVKs22Tjd7kECSFyg1FY_LRCAnhQ3sUTlZsQqH5tirwnn4MghaHppclGZsiQvdXt-VMmbwkULZjUt60VVSjwDoiqaNTU67xipUedp4xohr8ZY/w400-h300/SILVERADO%20TRAIL-NAPA-Quixote%20Winery-tasting%20room-tasting%20set-up-c2023%20Carole%20Terwilliger%20Meyers.JPG" title="tasting room at Quixote Winery in Napa, California" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;">tasting room at Quixote Winery in Napa, California</span></td></tr></tbody></table><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-size: x-large; text-indent: 0.5in;"><br /></span><span style="text-indent: 0.5in;"><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="font-size: x-large; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhRUGJn01ssNuG0n0RS3Rp5dRKb4a1f6TRBq3x5nzpxksWDwxIzq-m77ViFnCCub3mXXXAEeq-2j9J2nipTQnmlK0aaAIAB7zUljgbYFdv03msgK3bETzH00LO7IibcHd2XJ0nyTkSwFAxTZYRRCvGP3lz8wpD7yDfIgPi2XBryNQx9WqjK_yGQZdHo4pv/s600/SILVERADO%20TRAIL-NAPA-Quixote%20Winery-tasting%20room-tasting%20set-up-individual%202-c2023%20Carole%20Terwilliger%20Meyers.JPG" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="individual tasting set-up in tasting room at Quixote Winery in Napa, California" border="0" data-original-height="450" data-original-width="600" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhRUGJn01ssNuG0n0RS3Rp5dRKb4a1f6TRBq3x5nzpxksWDwxIzq-m77ViFnCCub3mXXXAEeq-2j9J2nipTQnmlK0aaAIAB7zUljgbYFdv03msgK3bETzH00LO7IibcHd2XJ0nyTkSwFAxTZYRRCvGP3lz8wpD7yDfIgPi2XBryNQx9WqjK_yGQZdHo4pv/w400-h300/SILVERADO%20TRAIL-NAPA-Quixote%20Winery-tasting%20room-tasting%20set-up-individual%202-c2023%20Carole%20Terwilliger%20Meyers.JPG" title="individual tasting set-up in tasting room at Quixote Winery in Napa, California" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;">individual tasting set-up in tasting room at Quixote Winery in Napa, California</span></td></tr></tbody></table><br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCRsIrHTaRhWkuz2jgbWGvUblWiIvield3XMdpnP11DFmEc4pVwdBEHBM5693CW8dnt1pjSDffO2X2DIaNvl3QObtZ_In8zdNA2vmmICt94iIBVdMCEZnk1bQLRKa3wgfGbjOH9K3xqkvs9Bxee8l0KqDCzMzUR-Q5_BbaJulCmYKs0pj0-_OEc90HIgsL/s600/SILVERADO%20TRAIL-NAPA-Quixote%20Winery-tasting%20room-blue%20wine%20bottle%20vertical-c2023%20Carole%20Terwilliger%20Meyers.JPG" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="tasting room at Quixote Winery in Napa, California" border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="450" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCRsIrHTaRhWkuz2jgbWGvUblWiIvield3XMdpnP11DFmEc4pVwdBEHBM5693CW8dnt1pjSDffO2X2DIaNvl3QObtZ_In8zdNA2vmmICt94iIBVdMCEZnk1bQLRKa3wgfGbjOH9K3xqkvs9Bxee8l0KqDCzMzUR-Q5_BbaJulCmYKs0pj0-_OEc90HIgsL/w300-h400/SILVERADO%20TRAIL-NAPA-Quixote%20Winery-tasting%20room-blue%20wine%20bottle%20vertical-c2023%20Carole%20Terwilliger%20Meyers.JPG" title="tasting room at Quixote Winery in Napa, California" width="300" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;">tasting room at Quixote Winery in Napa, California</span></td></tr></tbody></table><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div>A

is home to a pet cemetery.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Positioned
near the top of a twisting mountain road, Bubbling Well Pet Memorial Park overlooks
the Napa Valley.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>More than 12,000 pets
are buried in grassy sections surrounded by woodsy gardens and spread over 5
acres. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Sections include Gentle Giants
for larger breeds, Mighty Midgets for smaller guys, and Kitty Kurve. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A life-size marble seal from Carrara, Italy, sits
in a pond. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>More statuary is scattered
through the park, and picnic tables invite spending more time.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When I visited, no one else was here except a
solo deer.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Note that I first learned
about this pet cemetery through the 1978 documentary film about the pet
cemetery business, “Gates of Heaven,” which is produced and directed by Errol
Morris.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: .5in 1.0in 1.5in 2.0in 2.5in 3.0in 3.5in 4.0in 4.5in 5.0in 5.5in;"></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto;

wine guide, Josephina Alex, started us off with a light, buttery, and smooth 2022
Vin Gris Cuvee, followed by a pretty and elegant 2021 York Mountain Pinot
Noir.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Then came a drinkable deep-crimson
2021 Grenache, and finally a velvety 2020 Estate Cabernet Sauvignon with a
smooth finish.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Alex included an extra
wine--a beautiful 2020 Devil’s Canyon Syrah made from grapes grown in long,
long rows, which adds to the deliciousness--with our superb dessert of dark
chocolate-caramel crème with pistachio crumble and fresh berries.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: .5in 1.0in 1.5in 2.0in 2.5in 3.0in 3.5in 4.0in 4.5in 5.0in 5.5in;"></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguW25ejupx5Tk6h5Bk8Q6UcfSlcuNvfAhLsqT_KHnai9rsuwBsrgEaKJu-vJOAFbkX-y1sfnzgX1sharTvtjYu5obomRvNHl9DCE-k0zWJ7fLpnvFDp4Q2pt083txB1TYkURNF1HW5yc_cJBvQKts7kVlY_yW5srhwsGeazzWLQCAhVdgNCqkTXW4Lpfkm/s600/PASO%20ROBLES-Calcareous%20Vineyard-tasting%20guide%20Josephina%20Alex%201-c2023%20Carole%20Terwilliger%20Meyers.JPG" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="wine guide Josephina Alexat at Calcareous Vineyard in Paso Robles, California" border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="450" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguW25ejupx5Tk6h5Bk8Q6UcfSlcuNvfAhLsqT_KHnai9rsuwBsrgEaKJu-vJOAFbkX-y1sfnzgX1sharTvtjYu5obomRvNHl9DCE-k0zWJ7fLpnvFDp4Q2pt083txB1TYkURNF1HW5yc_cJBvQKts7kVlY_yW5srhwsGeazzWLQCAhVdgNCqkTXW4Lpfkm/w300-h400/PASO%20ROBLES-Calcareous%20Vineyard-tasting%20guide%20Josephina%20Alex%201-c2023%20Carole%20Terwilliger%20Meyers.JPG" title="wine guide Josephina Alexat at Calcareous Vineyard in Paso Robles, California" width="300" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;">wine guide Josephina Alexat at Calcareous Vineyard in Paso Robles, California</span></td></tr></tbody></table><br /><br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitbS9LIA5_HmYf4Bx4AgJR6L7L-fchbVbot0rtFv8IpI6qGRA8rb-5hU4MxhYHAej6d5lgOTFX12elsfDVRFuJPCBF3ydWEGWDnlFAfbOWrB8UvQX80QNozAsSTa9N2aZUiyRBLIJG2VOriPi-t9VGN0U8QLUdeCIyLkYnZhLNaj87Zv4jQO96yfbv10SU/s600/PASO%20ROBLES-Calcareous%20Vineyard-lunch-dessert-dark%20chocolate%20creme%20caramel-c2023%20Carole%20Terwilliger%20Meyers.JPG" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="decadent dessert at Calcareous Vineyard in Paso Robles, California" border="0" data-original-height="450" data-original-width="600" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitbS9LIA5_HmYf4Bx4AgJR6L7L-fchbVbot0rtFv8IpI6qGRA8rb-5hU4MxhYHAej6d5lgOTFX12elsfDVRFuJPCBF3ydWEGWDnlFAfbOWrB8UvQX80QNozAsSTa9N2aZUiyRBLIJG2VOriPi-t9VGN0U8QLUdeCIyLkYnZhLNaj87Zv4jQO96yfbv10SU/w400-h300/PASO%20ROBLES-Calcareous%20Vineyard-lunch-dessert-dark%20chocolate%20creme%20caramel-c2023%20Carole%20Terwilliger%20Meyers.JPG" title="decadent dessert at Calcareous Vineyard in Paso Robles, California" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;">decadent dessert at Calcareous Vineyard in Paso Robles, California</span></td></tr></tbody></table><br /><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span><p></p>
