Yesterday, Trey and I went to take a tour of Delaney Vineyard. I highly recommend going. Here are some snapshots from the tour. Oh, I got to sample FIVE wines. Delicious.
The production/assembly line. This reminded me of the show How it's Made, it comes on the Science Channel. Trey DVR's that show.
The Tanks. Whoa, that holds a lot of wine.
Barrels of Wine
Us to our tour guide: We're on vacation.
Tour Guide: Really, where are you guys from?
Us: Fort Worth.
Tour Guide: Oh. Cool.
WINE Tasting! Yes, Please!
I wanted to take this glass with me.
Beautiful
I'll take one of everything.
Sweet Texas Red was my favorite wine. It's unlike any wine I've ever tasted. I must have it. I would like this to be in my Christmas Stocking.
Here is the Wine Description: Aged in Oak, this wonderful blend of Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot has a surprising sweet finish. A perfect compliment to barbecue, spicy dishes or dark chocolate.
The Vineyard. Texas had a brutal summer and Delaney did not have a great harvest.
When the grapes start to bloom, the staff will place a net over the entire crop, so birds won't eat the harvest.
A wine barrel, that size would probably last me a lifetime.
Friends and family if you ever want to tour this winery, let me know. I'd love to tour it again.
From there we went to Southlake Town Square. Here is an Internet Picture of the square. It was our first time out there. Lots of upscale shops. Later, that evening we went to the Movie Tavern in the So. 7th area and watched 50/50 (so gooood). Trey and I shared a drink at the bar and watched a little bit of the Rangers game. Before heading home, we indulged in some Five Guys. Ohhhhh, burgers and fries, this must be what vacation tastes like.
So, that wraps up what we did, day one of our vaca. I'd say, we're off to a great start.
