I actually didn't have a plan b. Was supposed to be a quick weekend trip in March with flights wide open both ways. Unfortunately, storms on the east coast after I left were worse than forecast and led to many cancellations both ways on Saturday. Tried for the first flight back with no luck. Even tried to buy a ticket on OAL but everything was zeroed out. While sitting at a gate figuring out my options, I overheard one of the flight attendants say "Oh, they're giving us a 767". It happened to be BOS. So the wheels started turning and I figured as long as I can get to the east coast, I can Amtrak it home. I got on and even got a window seat. The flight to NY was icing on the cake as I didn't expect to make it.

It's on my list of vineyards I'd like to visit. Had a really good Paso Robles red wine on AA which put it on the map for me. Think it was Treana.
