Did We Hear The Word "Thornton"? Doesn't That Mean Champagne?? (Page Two)
Up the hill and to the tasting room
Rather dramatic entrance
Out of the car like a shot
They left so fast the doors are still open
Bunny is ready to taste whatever they bring
This takes "fluffing" to a new level
Did You Know? - Did You Know? - Tasting flight is a term used by wine tasters to describe a selection of wines, usually between three and eight glasses, but sometimes as many as fifty, presented for the purpose of sampling and comparison.
No no! Please, no more food!
"I'll have one of each!!"
Bunny's baby is at home guarding the house
Did You Know? - Did You Know? - There are five basic steps in tasting wine: color, swirl, smell, taste, and savor. These are also known as the "five S" steps: see, swirl, sniff, sip, savor. During this process, a taster must look for clarity, varietal character, integration, expressiveness, complexity, and connectedness.
A wine's color is better judged by putting it against a white background. The wine glass is put at an angle in order to see the colors. Colors can give the taster clues to the grape variety, and whether the wine was aged in wood.
A flight of champagne arrives at the table
They were all very very good
Great colors
Decisions decisions
"I like being surrounded"
Shhhhhhhh... Serious champagne taster at work
We need new glasses
Flasher at work
Always Mr. Serious
4:30 so it is time to go north... We are dancing tonight
A genuine champagne smile
An "Oh oh smile"
"Oh, do we really have to go... really??"
Clink... What a marvelous sound
Beauty and the beast
Bunny performs her magic trick
"No more pictures.....
"
"Maybe just one..."
Neat artwork in the gift shop
God Bless America
"Help... I am being held at a winery.... Na, no one would believe that!"
Sue studies the menu's for our next adventure
Back To Los Alamitos So We Can Go Dancing
OK... I admit my hands were shaking!
Our dancing friends had a great setup this evening
Geo Valli begins with
a patriotic song
Wow!
Home grown... No wonder they are so fresh
A table fit for a King
Meanwhile at the poor folks table
Sarge is happy to see us
