Going to the (Wine) Dogs

High on the list of business ideas I wish I'd thought of first is the Wine Dogs series of books and calendars. I encountered them recently when staying in Healdsburg, CA. -- The Winery Dogs of Sonoma County was an irresistable collection of handsome pooches who get to hang out at some of my favorite places (Wine Dogs and Winery Dogs are competitive series so perhaps there is hope for late entries).

Yes, despite the obvious sentimentality and blatant commercialism I plopped down $38 for a copy. But it was a gift.

What could be more fun than visiting wineries around the world and photographing cute K9s? I'm sure there's a fair amount of sampling the wares on a visit. The dogs from the book we met were all delightful. It might help if I was a photographer, but aside from that small consideration I'm sure I could have done this myself.

Once again, a day late and a Milk Bone late.
