Wine, Food, Music

North Stonington, CT  2021

A very nice way to spend a Sunday afternoon.... who could ask for more?  

 

Jonathan Edwards Winery

North Stonington, CT  2021

On a very spring-like day last week, someone needed some wine for the cellar.  I won't say who.

One Woman Winery

Southold, NY  2018

Just like a book cover, you can't judge the quality of wine by the size and opulence of a winery's tasting room.  

North Fork Trolley

Jamesport, NY  2018

The trolley makes for a good way to get around visiting and tasting wines on the North Fork of Long Island. 

Diliberto Winery

Jamesport, NY  2018

It was hard to tell where the tasting room ended and the mural began at Diliberto Winery.  It was like sitting in an Italian street cafe.  Well worth the visit just to see this mural.

Jonathan Edwards Winery

I could have stayed home on this dreary Sunday and enjoyed a glass of wine, but it's much more fun to go to the source.

Fall Day at the Winery

Mac 'N Cheese

North Stonington, CT  2016

Food trucks are quite the thing these days, and have become very elaborate.  Just about any type of food imaginable these days can be bought from a truck.  This one featured gourmet grilled  cheese sandwiches along with various mac 'n cheese dishes.  I'm not sure which wine being offered would go best with mac 'n cheese though.

Harvest Festival

North Stonington, CT  2016

Every fall, my favorite Connecticut winery, Jonathan Edwards hosts a two-day harvest festival with, music, plenty of food, crafts, and of course, their wine.  Every year it seems to get more popular and attracts a pretty large crowd. 

Old Hanger

Stonington, CT  2016

I talked about the history behind Saltwater Farms Vineyard in a post that be found here.  In keeping with the history of the property, which once served as air base, the new owners restored and improved upon an old World War II era hanger.  The hanger now houses their fermenters, barrel room and very elegant tasting room/event room.  

Chairs in a Row

Stonington, CT  2016

Both my wife an I enjoy having a glass of wine on a nice Sunday afternoon enjoying the scenery afforded by the local wineries.  On a warmer Sunday afternoon, these chairs would have been filled with people.  Not so, on this particular, cool and windy Sunday.
