Experiencing RSG life in the Verde Valley!

Yesterday, a talented trio ventured to Verde Valley (hidden wine country in AZ!). This trio included Rahulio and his friends. First, we hiked in the beautiful red rock area of Sedona. Originally, we were trying to hike in "devil's bridge." But, this area was a far drive from our current trail. Instead, we hiked for two miles in secret canyon trail. Hiking this trail was a good form of exercise during the day. After the scenic hike, we proceeded to Caduceus Cellars and Merkin Vineyards tasting room. This tasting room was in Jerome. Both Jerome & Sedona are cities in the Verde Valley region of Arizona. At the tasting room, Rahul enjoyed drinking the three white wines on tap. The white wines were from Graham County, AZ; California, and Cochise County, AZ. In addition, Rahul enjoyed being the "sommelier" with friends. Towards the end of the wine tasting experience, Rahul noticed a beautiful statue of Ganesh, the Hindu god of good luck. It was towards the entrance of the winery. It was part of the RSG life on a manic Monday. Furthermore, the acronym of RSG stands for Resilient, Sommelier, and Ganesh. Resilient is for hiking a different trail, instead of the planned one. Sommelier for helping his friends with pairing wine & food together. Finally, Ganesh is for the god that gave Rahul a huge amount of good fortune & luck. Au Revoir, mes amis!

Seeing Paul Oakenfold spinning some fly tracks!

Last night, RSG saw Paul Oakenfold again. Paul is one of the best DJ's in the world for EDM genre. EDM stands for electronic dance music. Paul came on at 12 am at "Wild Knight" nightclub in Scottsdale. Overall, it was a pretty good show. Tranzit was the first DJ to start spinning. He spinned for almost 2 hours. Then, the next DJ was Jon Pletachy. He was on for only 1 hour. When Paul came on, the whole crowd was bumping. The bottle service b****es were busy giving a lot of alcohol to their patrons. There were really cute Skyy Vodka women giving free shots of Pineapple vodka & lemonade. That was a good combination for Rahulio. In closing, it was great to see Paul in concert again. It is quite hard to fathom that Paul is 50 years old almost. He does not look like he's lived for 5 decades. Hope to see some other EDM musicians like Deadmau 5, or The Chemical Brothers. It was a great night, and a great way to celebrate super bowl weekend.
