 DAY ONE, FRIDAY: Ramesh arrives in San Antonio from St. Louis - we head straight to Little Hipps for burgers and . . . |
 . . .their famous Shypoke Eggs, which are not eggs at all, but nachos with two kinds of cheese. |
 Then it's out to the country to visit two vineyards, Sister Creek and Dry Comal Creek. |
 Our favorite is the 2000 Dry Comal Creek chardonnay. |
 Blake and Barbara join Lyn, Ramesh, and Michael at La Fogata for dinner - the wait for a table is a long one . . . |
 . . .but the food is worth is. Three of us had Chile Rellenos stuffed with chicken - yum. |
 Ramesh brings mariachis to our table to sing songs for Barbara and Lyn. |
 After dinner, it's back to Casa Belisle where Ramesh shares a bottle of Franciscan 1995 Library Reserve Cabernet. He takes notes and wears his special wine-tasting sombrero. Great wine! Great hat! |
