Laowai

Saturday we went to the day of the opening of the wine cellars. All the wineries open up and invite you into their barns to taste wine and have some sausage. I actually only went to one and then I waddled home for a rest. Brian and Bea continued on with our friends Matt and Julie. It was a drizzly day but that didn’t really bother any of us because the leaves have just popped out on the trees in the last couple days and it felt so springy. The wineries are just a short walk from our front door – Brian bought a few bottles that I hope to taste one day.

Here’s the nice poster that advertised the event around town:

 

All the barns are so old and well maintained:

 

 

 

Here’s a shot showing all the vines growing on the hills:

 

And this photo is for Jennifer – they have lilacs here – yippee!
