Wine Tasting

About a year ago I bought a great deal to do wine tasting with the wine maker/owner at Covington Cellars through LivingSocial. We even got to taste straight from the barrel. It was excellent! The tasting room paired their wines with some apps. Of course we waited until the last week the coupon was valid, but it was definitely worth the date night with the hubs!

 (sorry the pics are bad and I didn't want to waste more time fixing them ;) )

Four different varieties to drink in the same order as the food.
 Left to right.

Dandelion soup (surprisingly really delicious) 
 fancy meatball 
 Quail egg and prosciutto (kinda yuck lingering taste-washed it down with wine!)
 Bison burger (I think)
For the most part everything was delicious!!

One of the many rows of barrels. Do you know that one barrel costs about $1300!!
He also told us about all the different types of wood and where they are made make certain kind of wine. Seems like some tedious work!

Nice, dark intimate area :)

Final glass of wine!

For $35 we got:
2 glasses of barrel wine
8 samples of wine
8 apps
2 full glasses of our favorite

Talk about a sweet deal. So who wants to come visit?! ;)
