Can One Ever Have Too Much Wine????

Oh My!  Maybe?  No, I guess not, but we sure thought we were the most fun couples to be around!  Okay, maybe we weren't that bad... but as the wine flowed, we enjoyed ourselves more and more!  Fortunately, there was enough time between wineries, we were able to compose ourselves and start anew!

The first winery was on the Hillside... reminded us so of the Italian Vineyards.  Petroni was the Vineyard... they have a wine cave or perhaps it should be a wine cavern!!! It was huge and so peaceful inside.  This cave was man made under one of the hillsides.  The pictures don't do it justice, but you get the feeling.  We ending up purchasing wine at each place.  

The next winery we visited specialized in a Brut du Noir bubbly... Robert Hunter Winery.  The grounds we spectacular... we spent time touring the gardens before the tasting even began.  We were then served a gourmet lunch, next to the vineyards overlooking the hillside.  Pinch us please, what did we do to deserve this!

Our last stop was at the Glenlyon Vineyard... which is where our cottage is located.  We got to meet Squire and see how their wine is produced...  and wow... he does EVERYTHING!  After touring the Wine Barn where the wine is made, we went up to his home and actually had our tasting out on their patio... their extended patio!!!  on the hilltop... views, views, views!  We are now members of the "Clan", their wine club.  This trip has been was too busy and way too fast.... one needs more than three nights!

This Cave went on and on!

GlenLyon Vineyard!

Squire Fiddle and his wife Suzy own and operate this vineyard.  You may have seen Squire's face... He was Ronald MacDonald for many years... and the Toyota man for 30 years.

Anyway... his second career finds him as a vintner and an awesome community enthusiast!  Suzy too!  We enjoyed our visit and our wine!
