May's Wine Time!

Yep, soon it's gonna be time for wine in North Carolina!

One of our new favorite wineries, Rock of Ages is having their annual "Cork and Pork" celebration on Saturday May 10th. We've never been (the winery isn't that old; we think this is their 2nd celebration) but we have been to the winery and their wine is more than decent. So, why not; we'll go! Music, wine and BBQ (their sauce is killer), what else could be better? Check it out

Then, woo hoo, the NC Wine Festival will be held on May 31st in Tanglewood Park (in Clemmons, NC, near Winston Salem). We've gone three times; it's always fantastic. Tons of wineries from North Carolina; some are duds, to be sure (unless you like "sweetie" wine) but here is where we've discovered some fantastic wineries, such as Rockhouse, Black Wolf, Lake James and Shelton. More than likely, Rock of Ages will be there, too this year.

Here's the link to the festival's site http://www.ncwinefestival.com/Index.cfm.

Hey, we've got this down to an art; we stay at the B&B (The Manor House) on site, therefore, we can imbibe all we want to and be responsible at the same time. This year, we're going to stay an extra night so we can golf. They have three or four courses on the property

The best part? Busy Season will be over and we can RELAX and ENJOY being together!
