Life Is A Cabernet 4

You probably think I go wine tasting a lot, eh? Not really. This was a particularly productive year for wine tasting, and this is definitely not the norm. Must be because we stayed closer to home this year. I did two trips this year, one in the winter (part 1 & 2) and one in the summer (part 3 & 4), but visited four wineries.  This would be the last installment.

A common label in the store is Blackstone.  So why not go in and try.

The gardens were filled with blooms that mid August day.

Charge it, she says.  And we let her. Ssshhh.  We're paying her later.  Her credit card has this promotion of buy one get one wine tasting.

In between sips, I went looking about the small room and photographed everything.

And went outside to photograph the grapes, which were not ready yet.  I saw no sign of no entry or something so I trod along the field next to the tasting room.

Another shot - I love shooting grapes.

Too much wine tasting
I knew when to call it quits - when my pics turn out like this, I have had enough fruit of the vine.

  5. Hysterical, Maria, by the end. I love it. Years ago I did a wine-tasting jaunt in Napa Valley and couldn't believe how close all the wineries were to each other. They all kinda merged together in my mind after awhile. Or did I already tell you that? :)

  13. So these wine tasting sorties are not free? I always thought that they were a marketing scheme for wineries to draw in more customers.

    By the way that last shot is that a statue or a real person? lol

  14. We enjoy winetasting up here in Oregon too! There are some really good wines. Often tastes are still free! (As they used to be in the Napa Valley years ago.)
