New Years Eve Day... what a way to end a spectacular year.
What better way to end a year then to do it with great friends. Day two with Tee & Mike began with a hearty breakfast and preparing for another day at the vineyards. We put the guys on lunch duty, with plenty of left overs from last nights dinner it was their task to put some sandwiches together while the ladies when shopping. Healdsburg is such a cute little town that poking in the shops was a must-do. We did not want shopping to cut to much into our vineyard visits so we set an hour and a half limit. Which was just long enough for Tee to fall in love with a barrel rib centerpiece. Which we did not buy... YET! Our allotted shopping time was running out so it was back to the house to collect the guys and lunch and we were off.
Today we headed to the Russian River Valley:
First stop, HKG Estate Wines. This stop set us into an afternoon of laughter, fun and becoming wine club members of a few selected vineyards. We not only walked out with a case of wine but seasonal shipments of their wines will be on our doorstep when we get home in March. Since we joined as a team with Tee & Mike each shipment will be split when it arrives.
Humm! how do you split a 3 bottle shipment?
This became our chosen lunch spot for today. Great wine, fantastic scenery and good sandwiches, thanks guys!
By lunch time we had agreed to join a second wine club. You guessed it more shipments several times a year to your doorstep. This time it will go to Tee & Mike's house. To be split with us of course!
Who do these two guys belong to?
With time running out because most wineries were closing early to celebrate the holiday we only had time for one more stop before heading home. We decided on Matrix, sounded interesting but lucky for us we were not impressed. After visiting the last two that we really enjoyed this one just did not meet our expectations.
So we headed home... but not until we stopped so Tee could purchase her barrel centerpiece.
