Wine Tasting

Peter and the Hale clan (Mom, Dad, Patrick, me) went wine tasting last weekend - we got a car & driver, which eliminated a lot of stress. We visited Peter's favorite vineyards (which have also become some of my favorites too) - Duckhorn, Grgich Hills and Chateau Montelena. Grgich Hills was pouring a reserve chardonnay that was to die for - at a mere $75/bottle. As good as it was, we couldn't justify paying that much for a chardonnay - it's one thing if you're dropping that kind of money on something that will age well and appreciate in value - we made up for it by buying several other bottles from each vineyard!
