So a couple weeks back I went to Louisville with my friend Tricia. We made a 5 hour drive down south to go visit our friend Leah, who we used to work with. She is currently in Law School down there at U of L and is kicking ass!! I am so proud of her, I love Leah and she is going to be an amazing Litigator, she is already an amazing Woman!!
While we were down there for the weekend, we went to this cute little orchard/winery called Hubers. We went to a wine tasting room in there and sampled from 8 different wines they had to offer (they had more than 8 but we each chose 8. From the tasting, we all got giggly, and I ended up buying 5 bottles. 2 of which were a chardonel. A chardonel is like a chardonnay, it is very light, very tasty. AND GOES DOWN EASY!! I have had an entire bottle tonite!! Doesnt really go well with the nutrisystem, but hey, I need a gimme after the week I have had.
Back to the adventure at the orchard/winery. After our tasting and my shopping spree of the vinyards, we decided to have a little snack, of cheese, and fresh french bread, and more cheese, and some meat, and more wine, and even more cheese.
It was during this time when we were sitting, and eating and drinking and talking, that for the first time in a LONG time I was truly happy, I was smelling the fresh air, I was looking at the autumn canvas that surrounded me, in beautiful reds, oranges, yellow's and golds. It was picture perfect, and me being the dumbass I am, I forgot my camera. ALL the more reason for me to go back. It is SOOOOO worth the trip.
SO this inspired me, to find more winery's in chicago and IL. I would love to go to some more tastings.
MMMMMM more chardonel please!!
