Wine Snobs

Yesterday was the wine festival at Daniel Vineyards. Chad and I have always enjoyed their wine but have never been able to make it to the festival. Luckily, we were able to go this year. For only $10 they gave everyone a wine glass with the Daniel Vineyards logo on it and all the wine you can drink!

Getting ready to start the fun!
There were representatives from several other wineries there also.

Lots of vendors.
What? Wine?
Awesome guy from Forks of Cheat. They make one of our favs, CocoVino.
Of course the Daniel Vineyards booth. I love love love their port!
The no-kill shelter was there. I wanted this puppy so bad!
Such a beautiful pond!
Being a goof. That's what a few glasses of wine does to me. ;-)
The beautiful main building!
We ended up buying from this vineyard. So good!
 

The guy from this vineyard taught me how to properly hold my glass and drink wine. He said "I'll make you a wine snob in one easy lesson." He said to hold the glass by the stem so the wine doesn't get warm. Then you swirl it around to air it out and then sip it and swirl it around in your mouth. I knew most of that, but it was fun having a lesson on being a wine snob!

All in all, it was a beautiful day! We came home and had a glass of our Fredonia that we purchased. It's sweet and fruity. Just the way I like my wine. Today has been quite a lazy day. We stayed up late watching movies last night, so we ended up sleeping until about 10:30 this morning. We went out long enough to exchange some new clothes and have been watching movies since. I really need this day to do nothing. I've been going non-stop all week and really needed a day to rest.

Did you do anything fun this weekend? Have you been getting enough rest?
