Joan on the Road...of Life

Yesterday's Tucson adventure was a trip to the Arizona Wine Country. Now don't think this is anything like Napa/Sonoma!! Here's Jim at the Village of Elgin Winery, which is just about the only thing in Elgin, AZ! We drove through some beautiful country, low mountains, to an elevation fo 5000 feet to find a few wineries (and nothing else!). At Elgin we bought the two most popular...Bisbee Copper which is a light, fruity, sit on the porch in a breeze kind of drinkin' wine. Needless to say, that is gone already! Second bottle is Tombstone Red, which it is said was the wine that the Earp brothers drank the night before the gunfight at OK. It is said best served with rattlesnake and scorpion. We'll probably skip that and drink it with steak.

At Sonoita Winery we bought a couple of bottles that are still on hold...pretty labels and good taste. Best thing here was 2 T-shirt finds. Mine says "Whip me, crush me, make me wine!. I had passed up this shirt in New Mexico and always regretted it...so delighted to find it. Jim's shirt says, "I spent all my money on women and wine, the rest I wasted." I'm so glad I am one of those women!

I love this life! Such relaxation and pleasure in really simple things.
