Thanksgiving Day conveniently falls on a Thursday this year. This means one can goff in the AM followed by great wines and fab foods in the afternoon. Just like every day right? If only. Unfortunately, the forecast is for cold temps (in the low 60s!) and rain (late afternoon) which will wipe out the goff and perhaps the road trip to northern Santa Barbara county for a visit at Core Wines and Cargasacchi on Friday. That pretty much leaves things as they are every year…with the family and that means drinking great wines and eating… and eating… and eating some more.
