But, one more time, because it fits into today's theme of Tuesday Travels.
We left home yesterday morning and drove over the mountain through Jerome.
Just before reaching that mountainside hamlet Lana and Judy posed for a photo at an overlook.
Our destination, with these wine-lovers from the Paso Robles appellation, lay to the north along Page Springs Road, into the heart of one piece of Arizona Wine Country.
The winery is one of three in close proximity to each other.
Some of the wine is produced there, some comes from southeastern Arizona.
Tom and I took a bit of a walk down to a lower picnic setting just above Oak Creek. (sound up)
A pleasant day, sitting in the shade, eating, drinking, gazing over the vineyards.
Wow. I'm hoping some day to tool around this great state! I always thought I'd like to live in Cornville or Clarkdale.
ReplyDeleteI suppose you made SWMBO pull that cooler to the table too.
ReplyDeleteWhy of course not! I made Tom carry it. But I carried the picnic basket which was just about as heavy.
DeleteGreat images taken documenting your travels.
ReplyDeleteNow that is a nice day.
ReplyDeleteGood friends. Good weather. Good food and wine. Life doesn't get much better.
ReplyDeleteTom had a good friend in California who used to say as they were enjoying a good meal or a good bottle of wine or just a good day "It just doesn't get any better than this."
DeleteIt doesn't get any better !
ReplyDeleteOld friends, sit on the park bench like bookends.....well, not in your case, but aren't they a treasure? I have two I've known over 45 years, and there's nothing like it.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a lovely get together.
Cheers,
Mike
A treasure indeed, Mike.
DeleteI have been to the southern Arizona wine country but not this area. Well, not to visit the wineries. I really do need to go one of these weekends very soon. Your picnic looks wonderful.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely day!
