Patrick and I went to wine country in October and visited this adorable vineyard in the Anderson Valley. (Sidebar – if you’re going, Anderson Valley tasting by FAR outshines Napa Valley tasting.)
Anyway, Husch vineyards was a beautiful experience. The most adorable little cottage tasting room and some truly amazing wines. It was the first place we ever actually, REALLY considered doing a wine club. The wines were fabulous… Their Chenin Blanc is so romantic and we shared a bottle of it on the beach the next day (all the while fighting off sea gulls and Ivy’s prying hands).
We decided to bring home their 2007 Gewurztraminer. A wine that I’m usually not a big fan of. Well, today, St. Patty’s day, almost exactly 5 months later,on the first day of 2010 that was darn near 70 degrees, we finally cracked the bottle and were *so* not disappointed. It was smooth and velvety and absolutely perfect…(and yes of course we drank it over ice, in the sunshine, because that’s what we do in our house).
I’m on my third glass, toasting the close to a gorgeous day, and I think I’ll go sit my tired booty down, open my book and savor the flavor baby.
