Wine, Wine and More Wine

To celebrate my mom's birthday and Mother's Day, we spent the day at Oliver Winery tasting various wines and drinking several bottles of wine. It was a beautiful day, and we all had a great time. We are so blessed to have such a wonderful family!

After lunch at BJ's Brewhouse, we loaded up the Kia and headed down to B-town.

No, we did not buy a mini-van. It's a rental.

Let the tasting begin!
We really enjoyed all the free wine! We were able to try a variety of wines - I think we liked them all!


After the wine tasting, we made our way down to a picnic bench to enjoy the bottle we purchased. We initially only purchased one bottle to drink, but ended up going back two more times. Yes, we drank 3 bottles between the 5 of us! Thanks to Justin for drinking very little and driving us home!

2 of the 3 bottles we enjoyed. We had the Gewurztraminer, Vignoles, and Pinot Grigio. The Vignoles is my new personal favorite. We even took advantage of the large quantity discount and bought a case to share!


I don't think we could have asked for a better day!

  1. I can't believe they let you drink more than 1 bottle of wine! When we were there they WATCHED us - and when we went to open the 2nd bottle - thinking we were sneaky - they told us to leave! Looks like you had fun! Happy birthday, Bernie!
