As soon as I moved to San Francisco, my dad started making plans for the two of us to go wine tasting together. He didn't tell me that I was the designated driver until we rolled into Napa. "In the old days, everyone on the road was wasted," he explained with the fond tone of someone describing a simpler, better time. "But now there are cops all over the place, so watch your back!"
