Wine Trail Weekend

Saturday we joined Meg & Colb and Tim & Laur on our second annual Wine Trail Weekend outing. We went last year and had a great time, so we figured we'd go this year and try a new winery, among a couple of favorites. This year we went to Auburn Road first, and it was quite crowded but they had a great set-up. One of the owners did our group's tasting and we also enjoyed soup samples and a chocolate fountain with sweets. Oh, and they had these deliciously wonderful truffles made by Sweet Mary's Chocolates. Yum. Round Two was at Heritage Station where we met up with my sister and her hubs. When I say crowded, that doesn't even begin to explain the scene. You couldn't even walk around and made sure to hold your group's ground if one person left to grab a plate of cheese to share or to check out their weak and almost empty chocolate fountain. However, they did have this port chocoloate coffee that was yummy and unique. Round Three, and yes, we saved the best for last, was at Wagonhouse which is housed at a farm market for now, but they recently purchased farmland and hope to have their own set-up by the Mother's Day wine trail. The owners are a very down-to-earth, fun couple. They even remembered us from a year ago! Last year we tested out wines that weren't even bottled for the general public yet. I love their wines, especially the ones under the Three Boys Brand label. Yum. By that time, another couple had joined us and we were a happy group of 10. We relaxed the night away at our house with Chinese take out, McD's nugget special, and some HGTV for the ladies and Nova bball for the guys (and Meg). Good times.

It was a wonderful day spent with a really great group of people. Not your typical dinner date V-day celebration, but much more fun. It's a blessing to have friends like that.

My thoughts on life right now:
Blessed
Loved
Another fabulous weekend of memories
