EtCetera

This is part of the view from EtCetera's back porch.  It's a lovely place about three miles from Purcari and produces its own fine wines.  We went there with the Larsons on a beautiful July afternoon and had a lovely tour and meal.  Our first stop was the back porch, where we sipped wine and had a nice olive and cheese plate.

Down On The Farm

This is a painting of my boss's grandmother's barn.  It was done by someone local to the area and given to Dawn as a gift.  MolDeco framed it in the way she wanted, doing a great job.  It now hangs in her office.

Tubing Along

It looks like I am going to have a lot of nice, easy filling in stitching to do when we leave in less than three weeks.

Bottles And Bottles

The top photo is the gate and entrance to the collection of first year bottles.  Pretty!  The second photo is of the far end of the tasting room, where they have ones of all the different kinds of brandy and bottles over the years.

Getting To The Glad

Despite several days of not working on this, visible and on track progress has been made.

Food For Tasting

We had all these lovely dishes of food to help us taste the wonderful brandy at Barza Alba.  Everything was home made, fresh, and delicious!
