Vino, anyone?



Yesterday a friend and I took a little adventure out to the local vineyard, Los Pinos Ranch in Pittsburg, TX.



It was just what we expected :-). Located out in the middle of nowhere, however, it did provide that peaceful environment that allowed us and a few others, to enjoy the fresh air and amazing wine.


This was my first time going to an actual vineyard and I was very pleased to also learn about how they are managed and how the wine is created.

They also have a restaurant, where the wife of the winemaker is the chef. Great idea, Jeff.

I tried the Sweet wine flight where as my friend Jonathan tried the dry wine flight. I was very pleased with the choices given and I rated them:


I would have to say that Pinky was my favorite. It was perfect and I do like 'em sweet.

Jeff who is the owner and tour guide gave us a little tour and a good laugh all for a whopping $5 (I think the wine made him funnier though, an add'l $6).

Next time we make it out I'm sure we'll have some dinner and stay this time for the jazz band that plays on Saturday nights.
