Traveling Vineyards | Green Dog Wine

Can I just say, you guys have been cracking me up with your comments! Keep ‘em coming – I love it!

This week has seriously been a whirlwind, and it’s not getting any better – we leave tonight for vacation!

Let’s get ya caught up!

Tuesday I went to a wine tasting party, which is way more exciting than my breakfast and lunch – so here’s some thumbnails for ya:

Now on to the good stuff! The party was hosted by Jane – who I actually know 2 ways! My mom used to work with her, and my cousin Caroline is friends her son! Crazy!

Here’s the Hostess with the Mostest (workin’ it for that camera) – and all of the wonderful food she had prepared for us:

I don’t even like cake, but I thought this dessert looked TDF!

My plate had some shrimp, spinach dip, cheese, hummus, pita – and the MOST amazing Pesto Pasta ever! It was made with fresh from the garden basil and slivered almonds! SOO good!

I made friends with this little sweet pea, Chloe!

Such a cute little pug – she was snorting and huffin’ the whole night! She kept cracking me up!

A TON of people showed up for the tasting – including 4 of my family members! Cousin Caroline, my Aunt Laura, my Momma, and my Grandma!

With Traveling Vineyards (you may have seen Tina talk about her experience with them here) – the hostess picks the 5 wines they want the group to try – and that’s it! They take care of the rest! They bring the wine glasses and everything else! I don’t have any pictures of the actually wine, just because there were SO many people there. I can tell you the ones I liked thought!

My favorite of the 5 we tried – were served first, and last! This Pinot Blanc:

And surprisingly – a Cab! This one was labeled their “mystery” wine – and I really was shocked when I found out it was Cabernet. My experience in the past with cabs has been bad, and I typically do NOT like the way they taste. I absolutely LOVED this one!

I’m thinking of having a party of my own – it seems so easy! Thanks for a great night Jane!

That pugy pug is adorable! I have a black one and boy do they huff and snort and all of that! Have a wine tasting party sounds like a fab idea!!! I think you should do it!

I so would be down for a Traveling Vineyards party – how awesome is that? I love that there is another pug named Chloe in this world (HeatherBakes has one, too)!

That dessert looks heavenly…and the wine? Perfection. I love wine so much, I don’t know how I did without it my first 21 years

Can I come to your party? I’ll take a long weekend…ha!

Traveling vineyards sounds right up my alley! I love the pug – we almost got a pug instead of the Brat.
