Wine Tasting



My younger sister, Lauren, and her boyfriend were here visiting last week. On Friday, we decided to take advantage of the beautiful vineyards around us and travel around to some local wineries to do a little wine-tasting. We live in the middle of Southwest Michigan's "Wine Trail" and so visited Lemon Creek Winery, Domaine Winery, The Round Barn Winery, and Tabor Hill Winery. It was too fun! I tried to be a grown-up wine drinker and try all of the reds, but if there's one thing I learned, it's that I just don't like 'em! My favorites were the sparkling wines, the Demi-Secs, and a special Cranberry Wine from The Round Barn. I'm excited to take Jon for some tasting when he's home for R and R. I just kept thinking how much he would love it!

What a nice looking family! It was great that you were able to spend some good quality time with them this summer.

I agree! I tried drinking reds while we were in Germany (because they seemed to be everyone else's wine-of-choice) but I just never developed a taste for them. I'm a big fan of the pinks and whites...love them! The reds always seemed very "oakey" if that makes any sense.
