Wine Country Weekend! May 26, 2009

Filed under: Uncategorized — chrisandamy @ 12:18 am

For Memorial Day weekend, we took a drive out to wine country, specifically Palisade, Co. We left friday night and drove most of the way there (it’s about a 5 hour drive, total) and spent the night in Rifle, Co. Saturday morning we finished driving and arrived at the Wine Country Inn, a new, beautiful hotel surrounded by grape vines. From our window, we had a nice view of the pool/hot tub, and the amazing table mountains behind the hotels main building.

Wine & Where it came from :)

A glass of Merlot & Some of the grape vines that made it!

We had a great time tasing wines, and we went to 10 different winerys! We ended up coming home with 20 bottles of wine :) We also got to taste some locally made vodka, and brandy, which arent exactly Amy’s cup of tea, but Chris seemed to think the peach brandy (100% peaches!) was okay.

All of our new wine!

So, all too soon the weekend was over and it was time to head home, but (as usual) we stopped a few times.

We saw a herd of buffalo, and Buffalo Bill’s grave……
