“Do not wear black…. wear something colorful,” she said. We were five friends taking a 75 minutes road trip to somewhere fun. The plan was to meet up at 10 a.m. A call came in at 9:50 a.m., inquiring if I had left already. I lied; I was still in my room with my last two choices of what to wear. With time against me, I made a quick elimination process by using the “Eeni Meeni Mina Mo”😂 technique. I was finally ready and called a car service.
Our appointment was at 12:30 p.m. The driver set the location, and we finally departed at 10:25. It was a beautiful day. The lush greenery passed by our windows as we left the city and headed north uphill, through the valley, and across the bridge. It was beautiful. We talked and laughed until we got to our destination.
We had an awesome time tasting the different types of wines. We learned about different types of grapes and location where the grapes were grown. We learned about the aging process of the wine and the different types of barrels that gave the wine its flavor. We swoosh, swirl, slurp, smell, swallow or spit.
In the end we were, I meant, I was TIPSY. Even when I didnt like the taste of the the wine, I still did not spit it out. I spend too much money to waste it. In the end, we all received a hard plastic engraved tumbler to take home. A day well spent with friends. Enjoying nature in the vineyard on the outskirt of town.
