The Tenth Fit - Festivals!
- Welcome to Episode 10 of Drinks and Talks!
- Happy Anniversary?
- Happy New Season?

- Drunks in the park singing?
- Went to an event today
- We were tasting some not-so-great wines
- Riverbank Cheese and Wine Exposition 2019
- It got started a long time ago, not sure when
- We’re guessing it’s because of cheese that used to be made in downtown Riverbank
- Now it is a street fair that is free
- No kids means we’re going drinking!
- We got a deal on the tickets – seemed like an error
- We carefully avoided people that we don’t want to see
- Side track about #ModestoFamous people
- The wines were… not… good.
- Ten bucks is ten bucks, right?
- Who does pepper jack cheese at a wine tasting? There’s a purpose to cheese at wine tasting!
- The actual cheese booth inside was awesome, though!
- Olive oil tasting was taking way too long, so we skipped out on that.
- IPA, IPA, IPA, Pale Ale, and then a Red…
- Got some deep fried, fair food.
- The music though…
- All the hits, the hits, the hits!
- And the cover band…
- And then we left!
- Support the local…
- In a few decades, the retirement homes will have a lot of faded tattoos.

- Castroville Artichoke Festival was good because it had a theme
- Riverbank Cheese and Wine Exposition however…
- Expensive Beer
- Same vendors year after year selling the same stuff
- HVAC and Water Softener booths
- …but the people…
- Why do they want to pay $5 or more a beer, cheap beer, to walk around downtown?
- More specifically, why do they keep doing it?

- It’s been a year since we’ve been in the Pacific Northwest
- Coco announces her new hairstyle

- Syd’s co-worker shared some music thing with Syd at work
- And Syd had no clue.

- Back to the topic at hand, Coco and Ron Howard both have no hair
- Well, Coco has some still because it was clippers
