6/29

Our first winery! Sort of. Yesterday they squeezed one in. But this is our first offical one.

Iron Horse was pretty interesting....if by pretty interesting you mean obsencly boring. I mean, it was an amazing place, but...I hate to sound like a CIA-Grad with a chip on my shoulder, but....we all know something about wine, even me...and they went throug, in a detailed, step-by step over a 90 minute period..of how wine is made....the joke with me and my friends in quietness was "First you pick the grapes, THEN what!?" Holy goodness. It was OFFSENIVLY boring, actually. Well, I was offended. But it was a cool place otherwise.

 

Lunch was at WestCounty Grill, I believe. The food was deccent, portions a little small, but the roast chicken was good.

We went to a Zin Winery, Talty, next. I liked him. Short and to the point. He spoke about his wine, and how they age it, and we tasted it. He and his wife do the winery for fun, not for a living. They have a tiny winery that makes about 500 cases total. Which I think is pretty cool. Just Zin. I dont know if I like Zin yet or not, but I liked this.  

We literally walked across the dirt rode into an organic peach farm, Dry Creek Produce. Their peaches were amazing. Juicy and delicous. =)

 I think that's all for now. Need to catch up on anothwer week here =)
