Welcome to Thursday Lingering Look at Windows. For instructions on how to participate see our title page.
I’m excited to be going into our twentieth week. Thanks to all who participated last week. I hope you will continue to join us when you can.
I’ve been visiting wineries for some time now. It started when I was still engaged and we mostly sought them out for the landscapes. Sometimes we would split a tasting and that would end it. Towards the end of our relationship, I was becoming curious about the wine itself. I wanted to learn more about the process, the different grapes, and what I find most important these days, the food pairing. By the time I was really getting into this I was single and have had to rely on girlfriends to accompany me. This has not been a problem.
Naturally, I take pictures of the windows at the various wineries and I have quite a collection by now. There are too many for one post so I have decided to do it by winery, and start at the beginning of my tour.
This first group is actually a smattering of wineries from 2012.
Barren Ridge is one of my favorite wineries although it is over an hour away I hope to get back there soon.
Philip Carter was the first winery I took a “tour” at. I am now a member of the Carter Charter.
We visited Miracle Valley on September 11, 2012. We didn’t have any wine but I will go back and rectify that.
Driving near Doswell Virginia we pulled over to “get our bearings” and happened upon this little treasure.

I like these. Looking out of windows is always good. Here is another Shakesperean entry from me: http://travelwithintent.com/2013/05/29/peeping-shakespeare-head-fouberts-place/

Are the wines a better price to buy from the cellar door than in a wine shop?

No, not necessarily. Better place to have a glass, sit with friends, enjoy the scenery…

Yes, I am learning what I like and do not like. Its fun but sometimes on the expensive side. I have to be careful and remain the frugal sipper. 😉

I like the photo of Philip Carter 1st ‘tour” photo, the barrel, the vines and the little flare tell a story beautifully.
