You’ll know it’s true when you see it on TV

Post-hike picnicking at Picchetti is a winehiker fave.

I’m taking the day off and putting my boots on. I’m going to don my hat, shoulder my trusty Camelbak, and walk the Zinfandel Trail with none other than Mary Babbitt of NBC-TV’s In Wine Country. I don’t believe I’ve ever shared a day with anyone who’s won an Emmy before.

I didn’t expect to be able to sleep last night. So I climbed Mission Peak instead! And yet this morning I’m still feeling pretty wired. So, I believe I’ll get to the trailhead early, scout around a bit, and get a few of those relaxing little endorphins running around inside my bod.

About mid-morning, Mary and her film crew and I will walk the trail, nosh a picnic lunch together, then taste a few Italian-style wines at Picchetti Ranch. I expect to ask Mary’s executive producer, Mary Orlin, when today’s shoot will air, and how I might post an MP3 here on Winehiker Witiculture. Stay tuned!

    hi Russ - I’m way behind on my blogs, but I did want to say congrats for being able to do the shoot with Mary and Mary. We had a similar opportunity a couple years ago and it was a lot of fun - and good for us as well. Hope the exposure brings you fun and fortune (in that order :) !

    I’ve won an Emmy. Trust me, it isn’t that big a deal.

    But getting your business featured in Mary Babbitt’s report, that’s cool.
