Envolve wine party

On Saturday Nick, my mom and I went to the Envolve wine club party to support our wine making friends, Danny Fay, Mike Benziger and Ben Flajnik. One of the winemakers is Nick's roommate from college, so for Nick it was a college reunion having seen a lot of old friends, and for my mom and I it was enjoying great wine (we love their pinot) delicious food, and making new friends. The event was held at a beautiful barn in Sonoma. The view of rolling vineyards was breathtaking. The sun set captured the vineyards and the barn at it's finest.
We had a great time and look forward to the next Envolve wine party.
Cheers!

A Wine-Filled Weekend

Yesterday was the perfect day to pack up some cheese and crackers, hop in the car with a couple of good friends, (Annie joined us too) and set free out on the country roads to taste some local wine. One thing I love about wine tasting is every winery is so unique. Each one has its own style, view, personalities behind the bar, and of course wine. Every wine you taste has a flavor of its own so you are bound to fall in love with one by the end of the day. In fact, the last winery we visited Nick and I did just that. We fell in love with their wine, and joined their wine club. It's the first wine club we have joined and couldn't be more excited to receive their shipments of wine (3 bottles 4 times a year). They also have wine club member parties. The winery brings in a local restaurants to cater and serve food for the members.  Enjoying wine that compliments the food, what could be better? We're in!

Weekend fun

Nick and I love wine. We live in the perfect place for wine tasting, and beautiful scenery. This last weekend we took a drive to visit a good friend who just had a baby. On our way there we stopped at Domaine Carneros for some sparkling.
