winery

Sunday we drove up to the Mackinaw winery for their Art, Wine, and Music at the Vineyard.  I was under the impression that this would actually be an art show or fair.  They did have a little bit of art there but mostly it was to advertise for the art fair on the river front in a couple weeks.  Thats alright because it was a beautiful day and it was beautiful at the vineyard.  It was pretty cool b/c your driving down a two lane road corn fields on either side.  And then on the top of a hill theres a break in the corn fields and instead of corn there are grape vines.  It’s not a very big vineyard, but its very pretty there.  The atmosphere was very cozy and full of nature.  Lots of flowers and fountains, there was a pretty pond with a gazebo set up for parties right next to it.  I want to rent it out and have a wine party!
After looking at the bit of art, we went inside and tasted a few wines.  I’d never done a tasting before, and I don’t think this was a formal tasting.  They had a menu and we picked out what we wanted to try.  Then we each got a glass and walked out to the grape vines.  They were really pretty to walk through.  I even found a vine with grapes still on it.  After walking around and enjoying the live band they had, we bought a couple bottles of wine.  Both were red, they had some of the best red wines I’ve had.  Very smooth, and lots of flavor. 
When we got home we watched the Bears fight it out for their first game of the season.  Unfortunately, they didn’t wine, but according to Chris they put up a decent battle.  While the game was on I did some inside gardening.  I worked on lacing Rusty Rose, then made the petals for another pumpkin, and the petals for another two flowers that will be apart of a bouquet.
