6 weeks from today!!! Getting excited! So many wineries, so little time! I know one of the wineries I want to check out is Kunde Winery. My choir director, whose last name is a Kunde....but unfortunately no relationship😢..gave me a bottle of their Cab Sauv and it was delightful. They offer a fun tour of their vineyards and a grand tasting on top of a hill overlooking the vineyards. Reservations have been made!!!!

(1) July 7, 2017 Our Home Away from Home in Sonoma
Our ultimate goal on this trip is California wine country, which, of course, takes us to Sonoma and Napa. We have rented a place through Home Away for a week in Glen Ellen which is sort of in between the two areas. Here are a few pictures of our "home away from home!" We will have about 16 days to get there once we start our trip on Sept. 5th.
Here is the description of our abode for the week we are in Sonoma:
Comfortable 2 bedroom 2 bath with natural setting in heart of wine country.
We are a rare affordable wine country property with lowest rates in the area with no special fees and no cleaning fee. We are in the heart of Sonoma wine country, one block from the quaint town of Glen Ellen. We are down the hill from well known Benziger Winery, for which we can offer you 2 FOR 1 COMPLIMENTARY tastings there and at their sister winery, Imagery. We have recently added other winery complimentary tasting coupons to help you get started. We are within 10-15 minutes drive of countless Sonoma wineries. Hiking trails, parks, world class restaurants, spas and boutique shopping are all available. One hour drive gets you to the rugged pacific coast, San Francisco or the Redwoods. Walk into town to restaurants and a great market. The house is located on a quiet country road and is equipped for two couples or a family of 5 with small child or baby only. There are only 2 queen beds. Two bedrooms, two baths,fully stocked kitchen including portable dishwasher, dining area, comfortable living room with upgraded Cable channels, flat screen tv, DVD player, stereo and wood burning stove await your visit! WIFI ready to go. Outdoor sitting areas are located front and back of house as well as gas BBQ.

Pretty cool, yes?
Of course, we also plan on hitting up some Oregon wines and when we leave Sonoma, will eventually head down to the Paso Robles area for some wine fun.
Can't wait!!! Hope you will be able to travel along with us through this blog!
