A Trip to the Castle

We decided to take a little trip to Wine County to take advantage of the GORGEOUS sunny weather we've been having! We started with a late lunch at Rutherford's Grill, which was a lot like Houston's with HUGE Burgers and awesome fish plates. Greg got the usual Cheeseburger and I had the Ahi Tuna Salad. We also got a small plate of Marinated Olives to start cuz we were both starving when we got there!

Then we went on for a tour of the Castello di Amorosa, better known as the Castle. I had seen Rachael Ray talking about this place on her Tasty Travels Show and been wanting to check it out ever since! It was AMAZING! Our guide said that the owner spent over $40 Million building this place and importing everything from Europe! The tour lasted for about an hour and then we got to taste 10 different wines. (Don't worry, the pours were tiny so I could still walk outta there!) Our fav were the Chardonnay and Merlot and we came home with 2 bottles of each. It was SUCH a wonderful day and I can't wait to go back to Wine Country!
