Wine Tasting in Sonoma

Last weekend Jeremy and I went to Sonoma for the day to do some wine tasting :) We had such a great time! This is the second time we have gone, and each time I think it gets better. We are starting to learn the ropes a bit about how to make it a bit more affordable... and we have come across some pretty good deals! Turns out, a lot of the wineries have some kind of coupon that they have given out to other wineries to spread the word about them. These coupons are AWESOME because usually they are either Complimentary wine tasting for 2 or a 2 or 1 deal. Fantastic! Since neither Jeremy nor I are wine connoisseurs, we aren't that picky as to which wineries we actually go to. So how do we decide which of the hundreds of wine tasting locations to go to...? You got it. We let the coupons tell us. Letting the coupons be our guide, we went to two different wine tastings on Saturday and didn't have to pay for anything! Woot! So a great time, totally for free. Here are some pictures of our lovely day.

Jeremy and I went to this AMAZING  Indian restaurant called Yeti in Glen Allen. I mean, look at this nan! It was basically the size of a guitar. We nick named it guitar-nan as we ate it. YUM! 

 

 Jeremy and I went to KUNDE family winery first. They were very nice and had some nice wines.

 

While we were at KUNDE, they took us on a tour of their wine caves where they age the wine anywhere from 3-24 months. Check out all the barrels! The guide said that there are over 6,000 barrels of wine in this cave. This is the view from the front door.

 

 A little ways in, we came across some branches along the tunnel, and behold! more tunnels lined with barrels of wine!

 

 This is the room at the end of the tunnel where they have dinner parties, receptions, etc...

 

Here Jeremy and I are outside of the wine cave

 

This picture was actually after lunch, we were enjoying the sunshine and the pretty flowers along side the creek. Got a bit of thumb in there, but whatever. Jer looks like he is thinking, "I'm so glad to be here, but my belly is so full of delicious nan that I just want to take a nap!"

 

 And lastly, Happy Easter! We enjoyed the day with delicious food and with friends from our church. Jesus is risen!
