I see an Uber ride in your near future...!

Yeah, not sure we'll go to this one, but if we do we may not be driving anyway. But the nice thing about these events is it's a lot of food-to-wine ratio, and it's spread over a few hours so it's not as bad as it seems.

We have a wine dinner coming up in a couple weeks at our son-in-law

Nice insight Sem. Much appreciated.

Any special ones that spring to mind which you'd say are worth for me trying?

I really can't be much help. Honestly I'm far from an expert when it comes to wines, I drink so few anymore and that's not about to change. However there's a few local wineries that produce wines that I really enjoy. One is Brander, known for their Sauvignon blanc, (most bottles are $25-$30), another is Laetitia Winery, they produce a variety of wines, my favorite of which is a Pinot Noir  - La Colline ($65). Also, Zaca Mesa Winery is known for Syrah, and they're one of the oldest wineries in the area. I do remember seeing Zaca Mesa wines back in NY, but I don't recall seeing wines from the other two wineries, but I never really searched for them either. Then about 40 minutes up the road in Paso Robles there are over 200 wineries, many of which are producing some very nice Zinfandels, but I don't know enough about them to recommend any. Tobin James, who I think might be found nationally, is up there but the one time I stopped in for a tasting it was a horrible experience so I never explored their wine.

* Not sure if you've ever watched the movie Sideways, but it was a wine-related movie filmed right around where we live.

That

I live right in the heart of California's Central Coast wine region. There's somewhere between 250-300 wineries within 90 minutes of our house. Our region doesn't have the reputation of Napa or Sonoma counties but are still producing some fine wines. My wife and I are members of two wine clubs, one is a local winery that's known for their Rh

Steve,

I think there's definitely more to the PI. He's popping up in too many places and has too much information for someone who is just "looking for a signature" from Helen. He very well could be working for Navarro in some capacity. But if he is, why the charade of looking for Helen when Navarro had her killed.

I also think Navarro's hitman (driver and guy who killed Ben) is the one keeping tabs on the Byrdes. I think it's through him that Omar knew where Charlotte and Jonah were hiding out.

Fair points, but I don't recall seeing the driver at all when the kids went to hide out. Based on what was shown to us only the PI was observing the kids.

Finally finished and up to date. A few thoughts....

Julia Garner (Ruth) is absolutely fantastic. She never ceases to amaze me. WOW!!

Not surprised that Darlene got whacked, in fact I expected it, you don't mess with the cartel and a mob boss. And when Wyatt made the choice to go back to Darlene instead of with Ruth I was even less surprised he was killed.

Is it just me or does nephew Javi seem very similar in style to Better Call Saul

Do you think the guy who coined the term "one hit wonder" ever came up with any other popular phrases?

OK, I may not be an expert brewer but I'm an expert at drinking what I brew. So I've got that going for me.

A few oldies.....

"What do you do?" the woman asks.
"I race cars," the man answers.
"Do you win many races?" the woman asks.
"No," the man answers. "The cars are much faster."

But they're working on an even newer model that will respond to your thoughts. It goes without saying.

I was walking past a farm when I saw a sign that read, "Duck, eggs." I thought that was an unnecessary comma. Then it hit me.

If anyone here is in need of witness protection it would definitely be Weeze. Good chance the rumors are true.
