Wine Tasting and Winery Tours

How many of you enjoy drinking the occasional glass of wine? For those who do, what kind do you enjoy drinking? My husband and I enjoy all kinds of different but are particularly fond of white or dessert wines.

A few years ago we started visiting some of the local wineries around our state and got involve in wine tasting events. Its a great way to get out there and socialize with others and more importantly…try out some of your local wines! You would be really surprised at how well the majority of them taste compared to those “famous brands” that cost you an arm & a leg.

When we take road trips we like to search out wineries that we may pass along the way or ones that are near our final destination. Sometimes we go just for the wine. Sometimes we go for the wine and entertainment and sometimes we’ll go for the wine and expertly prepared meal.

Wine tastings are big business all over the world and its a business that continues to grow in popularity. Those wineries offer all kinds of different things to get you in the door. Plus, you can get nice discounts on what you’re purchasing while you’re there (cheaper than buying in a retail store or restaurant). Heck, a lot of businesses around here will allow you to B.Y.O.B. when dining at their establishment, so its nice to bring your own bottle along.

My question today is this…How many of you enjoy going out to wine tastings, events and/or winery tours? Do you have a favorite winery that you like to visit? What kind of wine do you enjoy drinking?
