saturday on the vineyard...

this past saturday i was invited to a private tour and tasting at the savannah chanelle winery in the santa cruz mountains. there were about 9 or 10 of us if you count the kids even though they weren't doing any tasting. the morning was cold but bright. we were very lucky because it was supposed to have rained.

here are some pix i took during the tour:

the chardonay vines

what was left of my pinot sample

the cellar

luke, one of the other employees using the wine thief to grab me a sample from one of the barrels.

this is by far one of the coolest things i have ever done. i might even get to go back at bottling time as a volunteer to bottle.

We have this sampling thing here but it really isn't a tour. We just sit around and drink the different flavors. Nice but it was late harvest so it was hot.

Totally cool! Can't wait to hear more about it.

Oh I miss wine. I've had a few sips in the past couple of months but I can't do anything like go tasting :( Merry Holidays!
