We live by a sort of up and coming wine country and boy do we (over)indulge in the wine! Whether its just me and hubby going to a weekend lunch or convincing friends to make the long trek over and then getting WINE WASTED it’s always a good time!! Since I mentioned in my first (ever) post that I always take pictures for my “pretend blog” well now I will get to actually show these pictures on my real blog.
So we love wine so much we even have one grapevine in our yard! Here is a small bunch from our vines from a couple of years ago. Last year was not a good year and we did not even get one bunch!! I’m hoping this year will be better.
{This is a typical lunch date with my hubby. Awesome White Sangria for me and Merlot for him.}
{There are some really beautiful views from the wineries. This is from a winery members patio area. Yes we have memberships with 2 wineries!!}Wine memberships come with really nice perks, free wine tasting for you and a guest and usually discounted rates for bigger parties, and discounts on wine and food (if they serve food). Some have a special VIP area that can be less crowded and more comfortable for the members. Oh you can also usually can go on a wine tour for free and get a behind the scenes look at the making of the wine and taste some not quite ready wine that might surprise you!
{We love when our friends come out to spend the day with us. I have been known to over indulge and not remember what happened or take crazy close up pictures or text random scary messages to my sister! Eeek!!}
Looks like fun, doesn’t it? I have many other pictures but don’t want to jeopardize my friendships by showing too much!!
