Wino Weekend Returns

I've started drinking again. LOL
We have picked up our wine tasting
tours again; always a good time.
i mostly just love going to all these places.
This weekend we visited Veritas;
pictured above, and Afton Mtn. Vineyard.
These places were by far the most
beautiful we've seen. The wine wasn't
really up my ally; TOO MANY REDS!!
No Bueno. i like my wine to taste like
candy. lol. perhaps i need to stick to mixed
drinks. But hey, after the 3rd tasting, anything
is good right?! :D Afton Mtn. had the best Rose'.
I am kinda regretting not getting it.

This is at Veritas. Can i just say how
incredible that place was. i mean it looked
like royalty should be there. i felt like a big 'ole
red neck when we walked in. My batteries were
dieing so i didn't get many pix. i always carry
backup batteries, but since they were re-charges
they had lost their energy too.
I was very unprepared today.

OH, we also went to Cardinal Point. The camera
didn't have any more juice, so now pix there.
They had a really good desert wine, but
once again, too many reds.

If only the wine tasted as good as the descriptions of it;
for example i got a glass of something that was described as
hints of coffee, carmel, bla bla bla, finishes with a toffee....
How can that NOT be good?! well it wasn't!
EWWW, dry red. no bueno.

Sew, anyone else like wine tasting? or wine?
or just day trips with friends? :)

please share some of your fave wine stories!

You know what to do with all those reds, don't you? Make sangria! ;)

It looks like a lovely day. I'm a little disappointed you didn't invite me. *snerk*

Hey D: so true!! but i need to get the winery people to do it, they'd make a lot more $$ off me if they had unlimited sangria :)
I'll make sure to send you an invite next time ;)

That looks like a fun trip! Gorgeous places. I think you didn't really run out of batteries. You were just so tipsy that you couldn't work the camera anymore. LOL! I got your number. Can't fool me! Glad you had a terrific time.
hugs,
