Wine Tour.

We were picked up around 11 o'clock this morning and headed to the Russian River Valley. Over the course of 5 hours, we visited the following wineries:
  • Gary Farrell - the view overlooking the vineyards below was breathtaking but in our opinion the wine was average.
  • Lynmar - this was one of our favorite wineries. The pinot noirs and chardonnays were very good here and they were paired with small appetizers. The garden atmosphere was enjoyable as well.
  • Deloach - this was probably our least favorite winery. Although the people were very nice, the wine just wasn't to our tasting.
  • Sunce - we liked quite a few of the wines at this boutique winery. They had some great crackers with brie and artichoke dips.
  • Harvest Moon - This also was at the top of our list (maybe because we had already sampled so many wines...). The vineyard owner poured our samples in this very unique winery. We had late harvest wine here which was a very sweet dessert wine!
Overall a very nice outing resulting in many bottles being shipped home!
