We have been attending many wineries and sampling their products and then napping A LOT!
We have purchased about five bottles of wine that we will put down in the basement for a later date. Perhaps tomorrow.
We stayed in a private home that is available for rent. It's very cool cuz it's just like having a house. They have everything you would have at home including a computer with high speed Internet.
Time to sign off as we have to get outta here by 11:00. Then it's off to more wineries and then home.
LATER THAT SAME DAY:
We have successfully made it home after a long drive with many stops at wineries. We hit about five more wineries between Walla Walla and Pasco. In total, we bought 11 bottles of wine at an estimated total of around $300.00. Most of those bottles we are going to stick in the basement for a few years and enjoy them when they have aged properly...or we run out of cheap wine.
As I look back on the whole weekend, it was a pretty pretentious activity. Driving around to all the Vineyards, swirling glasses of wine and pretending we can taste the floral bouquets of cinnamon and berries highlighted by the rich tannins and leathery mouth feel that explodes into a cascade of adjectives.
Don't get me wrong. It was fun and we'll do it again. But it was still pretentious.
