Wine & Dine

This past Friday Joe and I had the day off for our friends Anna & Eric's wedding (which was just lovely by the way). Before we headed back home we stopped by our possible caterer on the way out! We asked questions and feel like they could very well be our caterer! We're going to set up a time to go and have lunch with them to taste the food. (Definitely a bonus when it comes to planning a wedding - food tasting!)

When we arrived back home we still had time before the wedding so we went to Hidden View Winery in town. One of my old babysitters, Mandi, was working (her parents now own the store) so she got us started tasting some of the wines they have. The have your typical whites and reds, but they have this other kind called Breezins which have more of a fruity flavor. Let me tell you, they taste like juice, not wine. Before we walked out of the store, we had started two wine kits and in a couple weeks we have to go back and rack our wine - whatever that means. Once it ages for a bit we will be bottling it all and Mandi is going to be making us some labels as well! Such a neat experience. And could easily become a new hobby with the 150 bottles we plan on making!

Anna and Eric's wedding was beautiful. Although the weather wasn't on its best behavior, they definitely knew how to celebrate! The reception was held in this amazing old building in Duluth and we danced until the last song played. I wish them nothing but the best in life. They are a great couple and I'm so happy for them! Congrats Anna & Eric!
