  "Pleasant Wines and Pleasant People in Pleasant Valley"
  "Went there on January 2013 Passport Day. They are no longer part of Passport Program, but they took my Passport and poured. Now they are open most Saturdays from April-September. It would be wise to call first to confirm. 2008 review is out of date. The estate vineyard abuts their back yard, a..."nd so is the tasting area (no tasting room). The Handleys are very pleasant people. Wines are of variable attractiveness to my palate. They poured a few reserve wines for me. I bought a couple. Grandkids running around with the dogs. Most wines named after grandkids. Old school. A nice way to spend an hour. " More >
• Forest of Nisene Marks State Park
  "So much beauty just off the freeway"
  "Beautiful - so beautiful! The parking area is about 5 minutes off the freeway and just minutes from the spectacular Rio Del Mar beach. It was a perfect place for my late afternoon run, good wide paths (no poison oak invading the path!) that meander up and down alongside the creek - a great dive into..." the redwoods! I grumbled a bit initially about $8 parking - but really -- it's so little to support and preserve such a priceless resource! " More >
• Forest of Nisene Marks State Park
  "Great place for a trail walk/run"
  "They have organzied races there from 10k to marathon; but it's a great place to go for a quiet run by yourself or with a friend or two. You can actually get to a point directly above the epicenter of the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake. Places to picnic, as well."
