Malibu Rocky Oaks Estate Vineyards was just a few miles away.
Nick and Cecile drove over to learn what they could about the people at the winery and bought a case of the 2019 Pinot Noir.
They hadn’t learned much. It seemed like a fine place. The man in the tasting room was friendly and softspoken. He wore a tee-shirt with a picture of JD Souther.
Back at their house off Kanan Dume Road they shared a bottle of the Malibu Rocky Oaks Estate Vineyards 2019 Pinot Noir. They all agreed the wine was outstanding. Their conversation revealed none of them were wine snobs. There were no comments about the wine being angular or fleshy.
Late morning slipped into early afternoon.
Dorothy dealt them each ten cards.
