Winey Weekend


This was a weekend devoted to the grapes.....from planting to indulging, there was fun to had by all. Saturday started with the annual "planting" festivities at a friend's vineyards. This year we planted/re-planted a stock of Cabernet. Also learned how to "rub" the grapevines as a finishing task. Sunday was enjoying the art of wine from the other side-drinking! We attended the Spring Open House at beautiful Chateau Morrisette. This is ALWAYS a great time-nothing beats a little hometown Cabernet Franc! Ellie also enjoyed flirting with the Black Dogs themselves. Do yourself a favor and visit this winery-gorgeous land and awesome people await you.
