This is a dual purpose post. One to attempt to learn my new Nook tablet, the other of course is about Sunday's tip to a few Michigan wineries.
So far learning to blog on this tablet is not as easy or as fun as going to the winery!
The winery we went up to was Round Barn in Baroda Michigan. Since Mr. Puppy escaped the door as we left he got to ride along too.
Lucky for Mr. Puppy Round Barn rocks, and thier Baroda location is totally pet friendly! They of course need to be on leash and mannered. Here he is in the tasting room with us.
I have found that my wine tastes really have been changing. I now actually try more types each time I go to a tasting. At first I would only drink really sweet desert wines. I still like sweet wines, but now also drink a few semi dry wines. One constant is that I prefer whites over reds.
Round Barn has a lot of sweet wines, so of course they have become my favorite winery! The best I think has to be the cranberry wine. Don't forget the luqours too! Bourbon, rum, and vodka all made from grapes. I am spoiled by the vodka its all I buy any more.
After a few samples at Round Barn we drove over and checked out thier sister winery Freerun Cellars. Had some pretty good stuff thier too. The Rosso at Freerun is the only red that I actually like. Freerun has an awesome cherry wine made from 100% cherries, no grapes. Its not really a "red," so of course I like it. Beware the Grappa! Yuck doesn't even begin to describe that stuff! Was described to me as a lighter vodka flavor. Nope, not even close!
We had a nice time at the wineries. I even got a little stock pile while up there.u
If you are in Michigan or planing a trip stop by some of those Michigan wineries. You can check these two out online at www.Roundbarnwinery.com
and www.Freeruncellars.com
As far as my tablet post goes, not so well. I refuse to use my computer on this one. I can't get photos to load using the tablet, so I have been using the blog app on my phone. Will add the rest soon! Plus I can't seem to rotate the photos yet either, thus the sideways shots. I'll keep plugging away at this till its right, or very close to right!
