Sarah's Vineyard

Ron Winingar — Mon, 14 Jun 2010 18:24:59 +0100

This weekend I stopped in at Sarah’s Vineyard on 152 Hwy just outside Gilroy proper. This is truly one of the hidden gems of South Valley. Along with their award winning wines this is a facility that includes a pizza oven, bocce ball, picnic tables, patio, live music and manicured grounds.

Surrounding Sarah’s Vineyard is Westside Nursery, which provides extended beauty beyond the acres of grape vines exploding into rows of color and texture.

There are plenty of...

More wine more strolling

Ron Winingar — Thu, 20 May 2010 03:40:10 +0100

This time the wine stroll was in downtown Gilroy. Fifteen different wineries were involved serving various vintages. All in all a very nice event. I have posted a few short video of the day with more to come. I'm just wondering out loud, does Hollister have a wine stroll? I will check that out as sipping a local wine is always fun to me.

Wine Stroll Downtown Morgan Hill

Ron Winingar — Mon, 03 May 2010 04:29:44 +0100

I was lucky enough to stumble upon the downtown Morgan Hill Wine Stroll over the May 1 weekend. In reality I was on a mission to put my video camera fresh from repair to use and put it threw it's paces. My intent was to shoot for a hour then go back to the studio to check my cameras performance. That plan soon fell apart and I was on a journey meeting people and capturing the flavor of the day. While side stepping smiling crowds with wine glass in hand my ears perked as pleasing notes o...

Back in time

Ron Winingar — Sat, 27 Mar 2010 03:16:43 +0100

Recently I was visiting downtown Hollister CA speaking to the local business owners about SouthValleyNetwork.com when I stumbled upon the Penny Saver on San Benito St. Talk about stepping back in time! This place is vintage 1970's drug store. From the moment I walked through he doors I was transported back to my childhood tagging along with my Mom and Auntie as they shopped. There was always a stop at the local drug store and while my mom shopped I went to the toy isle to ogle the newes...
