Neptune Wine Festival ...

What a beautiful day we had for the wine festival!! It got a bit hot but the breeze off the beach made it bearable. Regina and I wasted no time making a bee line to Horton's tent to get another taste of that fabulous XOCO (chocolate wine). It was just as good as we had remembered from July. Yummm. Rick and Regina arrived about the same time we did ...

Mike, Paddy and Mr. Bill showed up a bit later on their bikes ...

Just sayin' ...

Slowly we made our way around to some of the booths. Bob really liked the Chateau Morrisette but I never did make it up to the booth for tasting - it was always too crowded. Surprisingly we found quite a few wines we really liked. James River Cellars Vineyards was one of our favorites - we pretty much liked all of their wines. During one of our breaks (the rest of the gang were off somewhere) Regina and I had our photo taken with King Neptune himself!

We all had a really nice time and are looking forward to going back next year, although we'll come a bit better prepared - we'll take our picnic basket full of goodies. :) I took this last shot from the parking garage on the way to the car.

... until next time ...
