Wine Tasting!
How do you set off a beautiful wine tasting? Burger King for lunch.
St. Josef’s Winery, located in Canby, Oregon. Wine tasting time!
The woman that poured our tasting was a Russian-to-German-to-American immigrant. She didn’t talk much beyond the process of making each kind of wine. I was hoping she would tell us exactly what the heck we were tasting, but no such luck. We just used words like “fresh” and “delicious” a lot (all true!).
Dad strikes a pose, pinky artfully extended.
Giant vats full of under-done wine. We wondered if we could fill and make off with the bucket on the top of the fourth one over. Each vat was labeled, so we knew which of the ones we had just sampled were still brewing.
Dad and I stole grapes from this bin, and they were the BEST GRAPES EVER.
Two out of three of my favorite boys.
Aw.
