From Passport Weekend and other assorted moments captured this spring.
Tasting Room Photos
Clouds and Sunsets
Since moving here, one thing we get to enjoy over and over again are the sunsets, moonrises, and all things cloudy and celestial. As much as we like to travel we are really enjoying the country life. It’s been an awesome journey so far and one we enjoy sharing with you online and in person. The Friday evening happy hours in the tasting room have been a huge success and are a great way for our friends and neighbors to come by and unwind and catch the sunset.
Food and Wine Pairings
Sometimes a beer just tastes good. I’m sure Paul would rather I not post a photo of cheetos next to a glass of wine, but to be fair, that was Superbowl Sunday and I was on the cusp of getting one of the nastiest colds I’ve ever had. The wine was sauvignon blanc from Chile. And then finally a proper food and wine photo. It was my first time roasting cauliflower and it came out pretty fantastic.
Chicago February
When the airline deal is $99 one way for a direct flight to Chicago, I have Paul book it and we go. This time we were able to meet up with friends and customers over the course of an extended long weekend. We shopped at Binny’s and had lunch at Goose Island one day, lunch at Frontera Grill another, lunch with Otis at Purple Pig, and then dinner with “the gang” at BellyQ. On our own we had a late dinner the night we arrived at the Turtle Club.

This year we paced ourselves and pruned the vines over the course of a couple of days.
The accumulation of rain in our nearby hills is dramatic. The swale was running at a good clip several times this past winter. It was good get so much rain.
