Winetasting with the Dolly gang

It's mid-November and after a day of rain the skies cleared and almost the entire cast of Hello, Dolly! went wine tasting on the other side of the river in Calaveras County. We started at Chatham Vineyards on the way to Murphys.
Our tour guide Kevin, took time for a quick picture with Ms. Berlynn outside the tasting room.
When we all filed into the tasting room it turned into an instant party! Even Margo came out from behind the bar to join us all for a shot. (Margo is in the purple shirt on the right.)
We realized that Nathan was not in the group picture, he was outside answering a call from his agent - or his editor...

Jeffrey decided that he didn't like the way that the real estate circulars were arranged and volunteered to fix them.
By the time we got to Milliaire's in Murphys, Theresa, Mindy and Ms. Murff were enjoying their grapes.
On to Kautz Ironstone where there was an opportunity for another group shot.
Finally at Twisted Oak we got silly with their rubber chicken collection which is everywhere. Efren demonstrates the proper way to wear a rubber chicken cap.
Berlynn found a frog dressed up like a rubber chicken and discovered that indeed frogs taste like chicken.
One rubber chicken took on a life of its own and went after Erin.
Naughty chicken!
Of course once a rubber chicken strays, there is no controlling it as it next attacked Kevin.
Ms. Murff had her holiday rubber chickens under control!
Needless to say as the car trunks proved, we had a very successful day!
