In what will no doubt be a continuing trend on this blog, I bring you pictures of a trip to a winery. We went Saturday to the low mountains of Leesburg Virginia, and brought some friends. They were doing a fondue tasting event with The Melting Pot. The wine was alright, the place was packed and in general we all felt a little rushed.
As you can see below, the view was extraordinary.
Some @$$ wouldn't shut up out how pretty it was, dragging everyone down to look at the view
Seriously though, isn't it gorgeous?
Yeah, so that's me with the hat, and the beard, and the ponytail. I don't know exactly what you'd call my current style, but I think my Dad would describe it as "unemployable"
I love you Dad!
Here's a few of our friends, we're all getting a little hungry, and we lost one of the group, so we sent her Husband to go find her.
Found her!
All together again, we decided to buy a few bottles, head for Wegmans and then home, for a little afternoon of food and wine. Plus we played with a crossbow. But that's not really part of this story.
What's that you say? You don't see the girl in the purple top and the black skirt? Why she's hiding behind my enormous gut! Also, pay close attention, I can't promise, but this might be the only time you can see my legs in a picture all year. I don't rock the short pants that often.
We'll probably go wine tasting again all during the rest of the Spring and Summer. I don't really like wine, but I do like hanging out with my friends in the outdoors. Plus picnics! I've already got at least one on my calender, and knowing my girlfriend, once she realizes there's a free, unscheduled weekend in June, she will fill it with a trip to a winery.
I think I need to start looking for a whatdoyoucall it... not a brewery... distillery! That's it! I've heard that Mount Vernon can now make and sell whisky based on George Washington's recipe. I should go try that out. It seems that as far as wine's go I have an interesting palate. I like really really bold reds. Spicy smoky, whatever, just so long as your average new wine drinker says "whoa nelly"; then that's the wine for me. But whiskey? Man I'll try anything once.
Here's to the weather being great for us all. Get outside! Walk around! It's Spring!

Mount Vernon may or may not be able to sell whiskey.
But whisky (without the e) can only come from Scotland.
Dad :~)
How long have I been drinking this stuff, and I am still learning?
I can only blame myself on this oversight, but honestly, I didn't know that Irish Whiskey, and Scotch Whisky were spelled differently
