Time for a belated update on our anniversary “crowdsourcing” experiment. It took a while to verify the winner of “North America’s most romantic wine region” because not all the votes were cast the same way. Some named a specific town, for instance, while others cited a county — or even a collection of counties.
But when all is said and done, the winner is (drum roll, please): Paso Robles, California!
I can’t wait to check out the low-key charm that voters cited again and again. Unfortunately, it looks like I have to wait a little longer than expected. You may remember that this was supposed to be a Valentine’s/anniversary trip, but now my better half can’t get away from work that weekend.
Really? In a firm with 15 lawyers, they can’t spare just one for a long weekend? This is precisely why I warned against law school in the first place. Romance isn’t dead, but lawyers are standing by with their “Do Not Resuscitate” orders.
Still, I promise not to say “I told you so” … it is Valentine’s after all.
Paso Robles, we’ll see you in the spring!
