Our whirlwind Saturday began with a wine tasting get together put on my the Junior League at New Kent Winery. I probably wouldn't have normally ventured out to this event (since it's a whopping 20 mile drive from Richmond and all), but it is about half way between Richmond and Williamsburg so it was perfect for us.
I had (sadly) only been to one wine tasting before, which was during our graduation week at Sweet Briar. This vineyard is newly open (2008) and is part of a large development in the country of New Kent County. The grounds and buildings were really beautiful and took me back to my Sweet Briar days, and the rural beauty that Virginia is so famous for.
A lovely mid-western couple who were randomly also there wine tasting were kind enough to take some pictures of us in between talking about the Ohio State game and how much they loved merlots.
After we ate lunch out on the porch we headed on to a great afternoon in Williamsburg.
Perfect fall weekend and we were so happy to get to see Kathryn for a few days!
sounds like a lovely fun weekend. I would love to go to a wine tasting, but never have done one. We tried to do a wine club once; we only had one "meeting," but it was lots of fun!
