March and April vineyard visits

Posted on April 25, 2015 by Lynne

We sure do love our vineyard visits. Perry & I managed a couple spring weekends in Amity. Spring brings blooming trees, wildflowers, friends from San Diego, sibling photo op, Petros on his eponymous block and Don's margaritas (thanks to summer-like weather). What more can you ask for? Life doesn't get any better than this.

You need more than that for cooking. And to think Julie now drinks red wine. We always had her favorite chard in the fridge. Not that I don't like chard, but her favorite was not mine. What do you think of th...
