Wine – Eskildoodle Photos and Feelings

Wine Line

The bottle has arrived and the glasses are lined up. There is no half full versus half empty debate here; these glasses are ready! #wine #glasses #halffull #halfempty

The air was crisp and cool, the sunlight delightfully warm, and the wine wonderful. Winter seemed to have retreated to the mountain tops and was welcome to stay there. If we cared to see snow again, we would prefer to drive to it or, better yet, just look at it from a distance. #sidereuswinery #winterContinue reading “Winter Wine-der Land”

That Trick Was No Treat

The storm has passed. What a trick! We had much it better here in Ocala than farther south. Our maximum wind was on the order of 30 mph gusting to around 55 mph; not that bad. Our rain gauge topped at 5″ and we don’t know how much more we got, but the pool wasContinue reading “That Trick Was No Treat”

“Three’s Company”

This sort of company could easily attract a crowd! Thanks for the great gift, Bob! #wine #marketvineyard #company #crowd

Forty Shades of Green

Multiple grape varietals nestle together on the hillside surrounded by trees. In the background farms and hills show their verdant green glow. Somewhere in the distance, the slopes of Mount Hood are shrouded with clouds. Another day it might dominate the view but on this day, shades of green shape the scene. Special thanks toContinue reading “Forty Shades of Green”

Passing Glass

Fill them up and pass them around, nothing beats passing the glasses of wine while playing games. Also, nothing like wine beats the sting of being throughly trounced at the game of fast track by the “weaker sex” seven games to three after being ahead three to zero. Pass another glass! #wine #fasttrack #glass

Cork-A-Doodle-Doo

A pleasant drive under partly sunny skies led us to Keel and Curley Winery where some light tasting followed by a wonderful meal left us quite satisfied. Afterwards we wandered the grounds past blueberry and strawberry plants, by a pig and some goats. Black and white speckled chickens clucked and squawked in a nearby cageContinue reading “Cork-A-Doodle-Doo”

Feline and Wine

Baby, the cat, reflects on the glass of wine beyond her backside. She has already sniffed the glass, but declined any further offerings of the vine. She does not need the wine because life is exactly as she wants it to be, she is a cat after all. #feline #wine #chardonnay

Two Heavenly Piccolominis

At a recent wine tasting my ears perked up at the sound of the Italian “Piccolomini” wine since I am well familiar with a crater on the Moon of the same name. In the lower cental photo, the crater is next to the bottle of wine. Piccolomini crater is 53 miles in diameter and hasContinue reading “Two Heavenly Piccolominis”

Maui Splash

Well, this gift from family made quite a ”splash.” It came just in time for the new year. It has been special to us since we first tasted in in Maui several years ago. We were touring the Maui upcountry on the flanks of Haleakala and were delighted by the winery that produced this wine.Continue reading “Maui Splash”
