And The Eats

First they started serving the wine, with the cold course already set out for us.  Smoked meats, bread, cheese and raw veggies.  They were serving all the different wines through this, almost rushing us through the wines.

Sprung

Yet another stitchalong for me.  This is by Michele Goldthorpe and the name of the piece is Dawn of Spring.

The Secret Door Reveals...

Another secret panel door, like the one built in the 1980's to keep the wine safe, was built to entice tourists into the tasting room.  Needless to say, we went.  These are all pictures of their well appointed tasting area.  They have various packages, with different numbers of wine and food.  It's definitely worth it to get the higher end packages.







I Got Green!

I got to do some green for trees this time!  I also need to go to Gemenii and pick up some DMC 647, as I seem to be out.  That way, I can do more sidewalk work.  It's good to not be peachy all the time.
