What a fun time! Yesterday Me, Danny, Carmen and Mike headed to a wine festival. Ever since me and Danny started dating we have loved drinking wine together. So we were really looking forward to the festival to get to try new wines and have some fun!
One of the many things I love about being a military wife...discounts. What would have cost of $50 to just get in the door, only cost us $24. Except when the man taking my ticket sees that I only have a $12 ticket, he assumes I'm underage...and gives me a funny look when I tell him I'm 24. So, there it is...this haircut might actually make me look younger than my long hair.
There were over 20 wineries at the festival. Over 150 wines. A band, food, and drunk
old people. Sounds like my kind of fun! When you walked in they gave you a wine glass, you walk up to each stand, and get
as many samples as you want. The samples aren't big...but when there are that many of them...they build up! You could also buy glasses of wine for $5.
Muscadine grapes are
really sweet. So there were some wines that I didn't like...at all. Like apple wine, no good! But I did buy a glass of blackberry wine, which was amazing. We hungout in the Duplin tent for a while and tried all their Christmas wines and some of my old favorites.
AND I had a grape cider slushie...amazing!
Of course we left with a bottle of wine. Our big purchase of the day was
Catawba Belle by Vineyards on the Scuppernong, NC. It was yummy!!!
My goal for the season? Go to one fair every weekend! This is one of the many reasons why autumn is my favorite season!
