The roads were fine except the roads in/out of the vineyards themselves - we just drove slowly over the gravel. No worries. Car needs another de-bugging and bath but other than that no worse for wear. Good group of people. We both genuinely had fun.

Great to hear. I feel lucky to have Randy in our group. Great guy and always willing to set some unique trips up for us.

Hopefully we can do some more of these wine trips, they are probably our favorites. Would have gone today if I hadn't needed to go into work.

I am curious if Chris found any wines he liked :icon17:

I'm going to guess that stop 2 was Hillsborough? That is where I proposed lol

You are correct.
North something had really fantastic wine. Considering "joining" that one.

Hillsborough was beautiful...leave it at that.

Sunset whatever was sort of the complete package. By far the coolest venue but I didn't like their wines as much as #1. They had one I really loved though.

Ended up taking home 3 bottles.

Hillsborough is gorgeous, and the only reason I chose it. Yeah, the wine wasn't up my alley there, nor my fiancee's haha.

Ill have to hit the North place, sometime.

#1 was North Gate
#3 was Sunset Hills

(I checked the bottle labels :3)

i do think i owe you one :) thanks
when i get on the road, i have limited connectivity.

Hillsborough was in there to prove that not all wineries are the same :)

North Gate is a special little gem - a tad lacking in the scenery, but everything else really nice.

Yeah, because I only proposed at one of them, so they can't all be the same :-P

BoBo - you had very specific criteria... which put scenery at the top of the list :)

And you chose well, certainly. Wine flavor was one of the last things she remembers of that day, nor was it a priority at all.

You dun did gud.

Dusty Zs at Sunset Hills Winery. Great day for touring some of the wineries in Loudoun County. The humidity disappeared and the temperature was manageable. Good experience with the three selected for their appropriate reason by our resident expert. Thanks Randy for setting that up!

BTW, Kathy enjoyed meeting you all. I might even be able to talk into attending more events.

Some of the scenery from the countryside.

One more.
