WARNING.....

This is yet another post about a winery (actually TWO wineries), ha!  Yes, we are that population that 'goes to wineries' and get bad rap BUT....we do have friends and acquaintances that like our reviews on wineries we visit so I chose to opt out of the negative nellies and post for the positive patties LOL

So one Sunday afternoon a month or so ago we decided to search for a new winery - living so close to Virginia, that's a pretty easy task.  And sure enough I found this one -

It was up in the woods, just a little =) and the road was a little steep...

But we made it!

And once inside could clearly see it was a combination of art and wine -

The owners are husband and wife.  They designed the entire building and grounds.  She is an artist.  Beautiful!

And the wines - didn't disappoint either.  Seems as if they have that 'art' down pat, too.

We definitely agreed Arterra was a 'good find' and one we will visit again.  It is located in Delaplane just off 17 (yes, the road you have to go 45 mph or else).  There are several in that area so make a day of it!

Just a few miles away is one that we have visited once and loved everything about it.  The view -

The wine -

The two sisters that kept things cleaned up (and the owners were super friendly too)

A lovely building to hang out when it's too hot or too cold -

The music -

Even Jill -  She's a beauty.

I think one of the requirements for a winery is that it has to have a perfect spot to see the sunset.  Ah ha!

We even finished up having dinner at one of our favorite locals -

That about covers our day last month.  Fun times.  Good people.  Good food.  Yep - two great wineries.

Scout Sunday!

Today Ronnie's Troop and another Boy Scout Troop participated in the Sunday morning worship service. Each one had a part in the program.

I love seeing these young men speak to the congregation. We even had this pretty little "Daisy" -


Then this evening was the kick-off for our church's youth group! We haven't had one in way too long so we're pretty excited. I'm sure there will be plenty more to come but for now we're just glad to have another activity the kids can participate in and become stronger citizens within our community (wink, wink)!
