Wine Country - Monday


Sorry for not posting sooner, we have been busy and the internet has been slow.

Monday we spent the day at a little winery/farm upon the hill. We had a fabulous time. Aside from a little motion sickness on the way, due to the windy roads, we had so much fun. It was good to see a farm family working together. After the tour of the farm, we had lunch in the oldest part of the farmhouse, which had a fabulous fireplace with little benches that you could sit in to warm yourself, it was huge! And the meal was fabulous. Bruchetta, and Crostini with liver pate. Pasta and meat sauce was the second course and followed by four types of meat, pork they had grown there, liver or something (I didn't try), Rosemary chicken (both fresh) and a pork sausage. We were of course full by the second course, but didn't shy away from the rest, followed by a rich and creamy chocolate mousse and a desert liquor with biscotti. It was all so delicious, and we had a really good time just sitting around the table and laughing.

The view was spectacular and our host, Sarah, was so nice and it was obvious she was doing something she loved.
