Barrel Tasting for the weekend..

This weekend we headed up to Sonoma for barrel tasting weekend. One of my friends from Dallas, Kathryn and her fiancee Ryan came in town to join us as well, so it was such a treat to get to spend the weekend with them. They had some friends also meet us, and the 6 of us had a wonderful weekend.

For barrel tasting weekend, you can pre buy a wrist band and the band gets you into all the participating wineries (  there were 130). So it is nice not to have to pay at each winery to taste. We got to taste futures and stuff straight out of the barrel. We hit 11 wineries and enjoy all the beautiful "topography". ( Word of the weekend)

We had some nice dinners and way to much wine. I am not sure I want wine for a while, but we bought just a few bottles so we can enjoy them later. We even got the wine maker to sign one of our bottles.

It was perfect weather and pretty much a perfect little weekend. Here are some pictures..
