Sao Marcos day one

So we have 30 minutes before we go again. We woke up about 8-830 this morning and went down to a huge breakfast laid out for the 5 of us. We were then taken to Rodrigo Poggere's ( from the team that came from Brazil to Sacramento) family vineyard. They make natural grape juice and small batches of wine(Sara please call Continental and ask how many bottles of wine one person can bring back into the USA, no this is not a joke). We spent the morning there learning about their business then we had a fantastic lunch with his family including Don Celesto the grandfather for whom the grape juice is named. We were then whisked off to Serra Gaucha the winery that Rodrigo's brother runs. Needless to say we drank a few bottles at each locations, including 3 bottles of a muscatel sparkling wine that won the gold out of all the gold medal winners in France for 2007. We are now headed to a small festival held here in Sao Marcos.
