Wine Weekend

It was time. Time to fill my pathetic empty wine rack with some good wine! I think I may have suceeded...

Livermore may not be classically beautiful but I managed to see some amazing things...

They put the grapes in the barrel room in the big containers and just let it all just soak and furment, then later they process it in the barrels...

We got a tour through El SOl winery and they showed us how they processed the wine out of the barrels...looks yummy huh?

I should have bought this sign, because it really just fits me :)

Dad was our DD and enforced all the rules for our trip, see the sign behind him? "No alcohol behind this point!"

It was a much needed vacation and a fun 3 day road trip. I made some macaroni/potato salad, marinated some good chicken and really just enjoyed myself. It was great to see Aunt Maureen and Uncle Greg and Aunt Jeri and Uncle Mike. At dinner one night the owner of El Sol winery came by our table with 2 free bottles of wine for us to enjoy (like we really needed MORE). Everyone we met was amazing and I cant wait to go again next year!
