Thanksgiving on the Islands

It's hard to believe a whole month has passed since Thanksgiving. I have some pictures to share from our adventure up in San Juan Island. Amanda and I don't get out of The City very often, so it was a great pleasure to catch a ferry to visit Chris and Darla at their new home. I've known Chris and Darla since my years at Purdue but hadn't seen them for nearly 10 years. They are recently moved to the island, where Chris is the winemaker at San Juan Vineyards. Here's a quote from the Vineyard's site:
We welcome our new Winemaker/Viticulturist, Chris Primus. Chris comes to San Juan Vineyards via Oregon wine country where he was Asst. Winemaker at J Christopher Wines and Maysara. He also managed a 10 acre Pinot Noir vineyard. We'll hear more from Chris in the next few months. We are very pleased to have Chris with us; he is an awesome addition to San Juan Vineyards.

An "awesome addition" -- no small praise! The Awesome Chris treated us to several wines from the winery and a few of his other favorites. I'll ask him to provide a list that I can post here soon. We snapped a few images of the trip for the gallery.
