The Wineries







We hit the road to the wineries around 11 yesterday morning and met up with our friend, Bridget and her sister, Julie, at Sugar Creek. This has long been a favorite winery of ours. We brought food and bought wine and listened to the music. Most of the wineries have live entertainment on weekends during the peak season and Sugar Creek filled up fast! Our next stop was a new winery called Chandler's. It sits atop an bluff overlooking a lake and old farm house. We stopped only long enough for pictures as there was standing room only.

Our third winery was Blumhoff, another of our loves. We bought a few bottles to take home with us and had a sandwich while we were there. The weather was delightful, crisp and not too cool. The rolling hills are just starting to color up.

We left Blumhoff and joined Nick and Kay (our host and hostess for the remainder of our visit)at a party in one of the coves of the lake where they live. Then we returned to their house and settled in for a great evening with our pals.

We are just hanging around their house today with a little kayaking planned and a boat ride later this afternoon. Today is the official kick back day so I 'll grab one of the my books, park myself on their deck and chill.

Love to all

Oh, you are making me wish for crisp weather, it's still a muggy mid 80's in the sunshine state...beautiful photos.
