Strike That, Reverse It

I just realized that I haven't told you about my last weekend, and skipped to all the fun details of our meal from this past week, soooooo....in the words of Willy Wonka "Strike that, reverse it".

For those who have been following me like die hard Smiley fans, you may be wondering about the wine passport I mentioned many some blogs ago. I accepted the challenge of getting at least 16 wineries visited and stamped in the passport so I could enter to win a trip to Spain. Well, in the game of I win, I WIN! I completed the challenge this past weekend. I officially have 17 stamps, and will be submitting my passport in the near future. Fingers crossed that I win the drawing in December. A trip to Spain would be a great graduation present! :)

So, Brittany and I visited a total of 12 vineyards from Friday to Sunday. We hit up different areas of the state and made the most of each area. We vineyard hopped, and even met some new friends along the way that we just happened to run into at every vineyard we were at. Looks like we aren't the only ones who had the bright idea to vineyard hop. :)

All in all a great weekend, and a great idea (thank you Carol for telling us about the passport)! Visiting the vineyards was a great way to see many areas of the state and get to sip on some tasty vino. And in the event that I don't win the prize to Spain, I have 14 new wine glasses to show for my efforts (as most vineyards give you a glass with a tasting).
