Stop 1: Sokol Blosser
We are in the wine club and they were so lovely to us - lots of additional wines for whole group of 11 of us. Great tasting. Lots to drink - good way to start the morning.
Stop 2: Domaine Roy & fils
New one for us! It was very good. Our tasting host, Jake, looked 12 years old. No lie. But he was very accommodating, and then I asked Brett what they were getting and he said, "Ask Lynette, it's up to her." Well that was a recipe for credit card disaster, I can tell you. I hope the wines are good when they come...
Stop 3: Lemelson
So this one was fun, but we were in a hurry and essentially chugging wine. I liked it there, but would have liked a more tailored sit down experience. Good wines. No pictures.
Stop 4: Patricia Green
WOW they are wonderful. Caroline did our tasting - she is so great, and we had a fab time. We had a few barrel tastings, and even more great wines. Everyone had a great time. One of our friends...unfortunately...didn't pace and had a little bit of a barfing episode in the van...and in the bathroom...and back in the van. Twice. Poor thing. But you know what? I am an EXCELLENT barfing friend. I had Kleenex at the ready for the clean up.
Recap: such a fun day. However, for our next wine day, here is what I would do:
- Brick House
- Beaux Freres
- Patricia Green
- Maybe Sokol Blosser
Only 3-4 and spending more time at each to really soak up the experience. I'll have to remember this.
