This place had art from abstract, to traditional, to contemporary. Most was either not my style or…read moreamateurish. But there were the 1 or 2 pieces where I thought to myself...hmmmm, not bad. But overall feel of things was a bit all over the place because of the huge differences between all the art; this seems to be easy to do when you rent space to so many different artists, but this gallery needs to find a better way to bring some more uniformity between the different art, or better the flow some how. Atmosphere was a bit stark, and empty feeling. Had a pretty good size crowd, very mixed and they welcomed kiddies which is always nice...they too should enjoy art, and why not start them early with appreciation of free expression. I would check them out again during one of the Escondido art walks.

When I walked into the space, the man working greeted me quickly and said I could fill out a small paper choosing my favorite piece, and they do a 'best in show' every month, based on the votes. That painting will be featured and the artist gets a ribbon too. It made the experience interactive, which I really enjoyed. Can't wait to see who wins!

We spent a good amount of time at three wineries (the tour lasted about 5 hours), but it felt like it all went by so fast! We had ordered lunch at one of the wineries, and the food was delicious. However, it felt like the prices were a little high for the food we ordered. Nevertheless, they were accommodating with at least two vegan options! (Totally wish they had more) For my vegans, the panini was good! Mark (or 'Rags') was our tour guide, and he really made the day spectacular! He was knowledgeable and enthusiastic! He let us choose the music in the van while we went from place to place and gave us an itinerary of what to expect before we started! He was also very nice and joyful! He also brought out birthday cupcakes for the three birthday girls!! It was very cute! He was personable and a joy to spend the day with! I only wish the tour of the winery was longer! We only spent some time in a room to see how they made wine in clay pots! Otherwise, 10/10!!

I could not have asked for a better team to spend my wine tour with. Liz was funny, out-going, and always available to take a picture for you. We went to three wineries and each one had something special to offer. The lunch we had was exquisite. The brownie pairing with wine was amazing!!! My group had the turkey wraps, roast beef sandwiches, and the Cesar salad! Food kept us going as we sipped many great wines. I had a memorable experience and I am looking forward to seeing them again.
