When we first started going wine tasting as a recreational outing, everyplace we went, everything we tried was a discovery.\u00a0 We will never forget the wonderment we felt as we drove along Route 29 in Napa Valley.\u00a0 All those wineries!\u00a0 Such famous wines and they come out of those buildings!\u00a0 And they let you try what they make (for free in those days)!<\/p>\n

We have recreated that feeling often in our travels and it\u2019s always the same.\u00a0 Aha, so this is really Bordeaux or Burgundy or Paso Robles or Montalcino!\u00a0 In a way, it has been the same rush as we once felt on Christmas morning.\u00a0 But over the years, as we have returned to our favorite corners of Wine Country, that initial thrill has given way to pleasures of familiarity, of knowing what we were going to taste and knowing that it would be good.<\/p>\n

There is still plenty of opportunity for discovery as we make our way through Wine Country.\u00a0 They never happen where you expect them to be; they always come as a surprise.<\/p>\n
