Barrel Tasting Weekend 2007

by erin

In California this weekend, my family joined my friend Megan’s family in their annual tour of Sonoma County’s wine country. It was Barrel Tasting weekend, and the Dry Creek Valley was glowing, golden and glorious! Blossoms everywhere, 70 degree weather….I think everyone should go next year. It happens annually, the 1st weekend of March. You just buy a wrist band and a wine glass for $10, and you can wine taste at ALL the wineries all day! Many of the wineries serve food tastings and have live music as well. This year I think we hit 8 wineries…next year my goal is 12!

Happy sipping!
