Winery Visit
The vineyard visit was short, but a lot of fun. It was interesting to see the vines and learn about how the grapes are picked. I felt like we didn't get to spend as much time as I would have liked to in the actual winery. We simply stood by one of the machines, which separated the grapes from their stems, and heard about how the wine was made, but we didn't get a chance to actually walk around the facility and at least see the machines the owner was referring to. However, I did enjoy seeing where the wine was kept in barrels and learning more about the process of storing the wine. It was also a lot of fun to create our own blend, but I was honestly expecting to see a lot more than we did. I enjoyed the lunch and the wine tasting, especially the 2004 merlot. It just seems that we could have used the time we had to see more of the actual facilities.
