Well, I finally made it back to Texas from my 10 day Oregon/California trip. We flew into Portland and visited my wife's sister in Corvallis, then drove down the Coast to Napa Valley and San Francisco.
I made it to several breweries in Cali:
North Coast, Fort Bragg
Russian River, Santa Rosa
Mikkeller, San Francisco
21st Amendment, San Francisco
Cellarmaker Brewing Co, San Francisco
Wineries:
Pfeiffer, Eugene
Pacific Star Winery, Mendocino (Pretty terrible wines, but great view)
Korbel, Guerneville (Had a hook up that got us a private VIP tour as a gift. Was actually a super informative and interesting tour.)
Pride Mountain Vineyards, Napa Valley: Spring Mountain
Barnett Vineyards, Napa Valley: Spring Mountain
Mumm, Napa Valley
Beer brought back:
3 - Pliny the Elder
2 - Consecration

1 - Sonoma Pride Amasa
1 - DFH Saison du Buff (Ale brewed with parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme)
1 - Mac Fanny Baw (Bourban Barrel Aged Smoked Ale)
1 - Jolly Pumpkin Calabaza Blanca (White ale with Spices)
1 - Jolly Pumpkin Maracaibo Especial (Brown Ale with Cacao and Spices)
1 - Schiuma Party (Saison aged on wine barrels)
Wine brought Back:

It was definitely interesting packing all of these on the way back back. We only managed to score ONE 12 pack wine shipper, so the rest of the bottles actually went in our suitcases. We were pretty lucky none of them broke. We did have to leave a bottle of Mumm Napa Sparkling Pinot Noir, to my wife's regret.
