Whaleback Vineyard, Poultney VT
the tasting was delicious. my two favorites were the apple variety & the rose which was unique & like nothing i had tasted before. also i got some home-brew supplies because i had no idea how easy it could be & i'm really looking forward to starting...so i'll keep you posted!
it's harvest time at the whaleback vineyard & some of jon's friends at green mountain college (where he goes to school) told him that you could help harvest grapes for $10 a bucket...so we decided to give it a try more for the experience than the money & it wasn't so bad except for the bees who loveee the grapes, but we didn't get stung :) plus it was a gorgeous day out
beautiful wild flowers
