Jun 19thDirections for Wine Tasting

Kentucky’s wineries are open! After 70 days of Wine Sayings, let’s move on and try something new.

While browsing the blog, I realized I’d forgotten to continue with my Wining Adventures. So here’s some new tipsy tales.

We were traveling to Nashville for a weekend and found a winery that was a convenient stop along the way. The winery was run by an older couple and the tasting room was full of antiques and decorative items to purchase. To tell the truth, I don’t even remember the wine; but the tasting experience was a story we’ve told over and over. While we and two other couples waited to taste the wine, the woman brought us a dish of crackers and small cubes of cheese, which of course is not unusual. It became odd when we were given instructions on the proper time to eat the cracker, taste the wine, and eat the cheese. We thought that was a bit much but when she gently smacked the hand of the man next to us when he didn’t follow directions was what made it such a good story. We were laughing when we left the winery.
