Suburban Bliss

This was my vacation week. I spent a few days at home just trying to catch up on all the chores that I have failed to get done this summer in between my work schedule and the kid’s sports schedules.

We were able to take a short two day trip about 3 hours away to our states wine country. Several of the wineries were small in nature and although I wondered as we pulled into the informal rock drive of the first stop I found that their wines were quite wonderful. About mid-way through our journey we came upon this wonderful winery where obviously the owners had put some money into the appearance. There was a wonderful newer building that was built to look like a Tuscan villa. Not only was their seating inside, but as well a wonderful large patio outside. A bed & breakfast was not too far away along with a pond and more seating in the grassy area. There was a place for live music on the weekends even. You can bet we will be going back just to sit here in the beauty and relax.

We left the wine country this time with five bottles of wine in all. We purchased this great tasting dessert wine with a hint of raspberries that will be just wonderful with a cheesecake. Since we have been home we have both had trouble with saving this wine for the next dinner party!
