It was our daughters birthday so we decided to take her out and introduce her to wining. Again we ventured out Linne Road and started at Sculpterra. Its close and a good place to start as we decided to have lunch at Cass Winery. Kyle and Tom were there to serve us our tasting after we showed off the garden. Again a great experience with what now feels like old friends.
Just down the road we had a "yummy" lunch at Cass Winery. We have been to this winery before and had lunch. The wine is pretty good and they have a lot of fun events. Lunch includes either a glass of wine or a flight of tastings. We had the chicken salad, tri tip sandwich and crab cakes. It was all good but we are anxious to maybe try the cheese plate next time, it looked very interesting. I suggest if you are in this area mid-day you might want to eat here, it is both reasonable and very good. We met the owner who was celebrating his class reunion (1971 Paso) with many of his classmates.
We went further on Linne, turned left on Gennesso Road and left again on Union. We had been to Penman Springs before and needed to replace our bottle of Merlot we had purchased earlier. Originally Roger from Opollo had recommended us trying this winery knowing how good the wine was and special the people serving where. Beth the owner was there, last time mom joined her for a smoke outside and they had a nice visit. Rosie was pouring, again the wine was great and we purchased a bottle of their Zin this time. They also have a great little gift shop. Along with the tasting they have good cheese and snacks while you enjoy their wine. Our daughter fell in love with the dog who like so many winery dog loves being petted, scratched and appreciated by visitors. This dog was unique because it was a Kenyan Hunting Dog, and really spoiled.
Our daughter had noticed the day before a sign advertising a new winery at the site of the old Arciero Winery on Hwy 46. Broken Earth Winery had just opened the weekend before so we decided to check it out. In the room beside the tasting room the Boys and Girls Club was having a fund raiser, selling a lot of older winery goodies. Well what the heck, there was neat glasses, shirts, seasonal stuff and so much more -- I had a good time donating. It was the last day and all was 75% off. Back to the tasting, the wine was okay, not great but okay. Winery itself was beautiful and things were pretty unsettled, not all setup. We will try again to get a better idea.
It was a great day we had with our daughter. Time to get out, talk, eat, wine and enjoy what a beautiful daughter we have. Hope we get to do this again soon with her.
