I wish I was a Klingon, A vulcan, a Q or an Andorian!

We had dinner with Trevor and Kerry. They brought me a bottle of Klingon blood wine 😉

The bottle was autographed by non-other than Ambassador K’Ehleyr.

The only actress to appear as 4 different aliens in 3 different “Star Trek” series: Vulcan `Lt. Selar’ and Klingon `K’Ehleyr’ on “Star Trek: The Next Generation” (1987), the female ‘Q’ on “Star Trek: Voyager” (1995) and `Tarah’, the first female Andorian on “Enterprise” (2001).

The long road goodnight

Wow, who would have thought there is a lot of nothing between Cambria and Las Vegas. We headed out after breakfast and drove out from the coast. It was raining for most of the trip. Until we got over the Tehachapi Pass, the rain didn’t let up.

It’s pretty funny that I grew up and lived in the Mohave desert for seven years and worked on the Space Shuttle in 1984 and never made it out to Edwards air-force base. This was the first time I have driven by it.

After two stops for gas and one for food, we finally made it to Las Vegas.

Now I know how Dionysus Feels!

Today we embarked on our full day of wine tasting. We took a tour so that we didn’t have to worry about directions of drinking too much.

We stopped at five wineries as well as a nice little frech bistro for lunch. I was really surprised that Angie didn’t turn away any of the red wine tastings. Maybe she is developing a broader pallet 😉

We found several wines we each liked and one wine we both agreed we liked. All in all it was a fun, festive day.
