Good morning!
It is Tuesday again. Time for a post written in the English language.
As you might know, we have a lot of vineyards in the Commonwealth of Virginia, and particularly in Northern Virginia, where I happen to live.
The quality of the wine can be described as “so-so”. You cannot compare Virginia wines to California wines any day of the week. California wines are superior on every level.
BUT, it is SUPER nice to spend an afternoon on one of the many vineyards we do have here.
Why? Because the wineries are usually so cozy, beautiful and easy going.
One of my favorites, or my number one favorite, is Bluemont Winery. That place is AWESOME!! It is located about half an hour from my house.
Bluemont is so very beautiful, gorgeous views and a great atmosphere. And as a matter of fact, some of the wines ARE totally all right.
Recently this winery picked one of my Instagram pictures as The Winner of the Month. That made me happy!
I did not even participate in any contests, they just found my geotag (I geotag every pic that I take on Insta) and they picked a pic I shot at the vineyard last year.
SO, I won a little prize, two free wine flights and lunch!
Very nice.
Peter and I SO enjoyed our Sunday in Bluemont.
Have a good Tuesday!

Grapes at Bluemont.
The view from up here is amazing!

My hubs and I.
Our wine flights. Since we both prefer red wine we got red flights.
Lots of people enjoying the day, views and the wine.
Love this food. SO much!
The entertainment was spot on this Sunday afternoon.

Here I am.
Virginia country side.
Yes, I am so happy to live in a world where the country side is so stunningly beautiful, and the wineries are plentiful.
And, on our way home we drove on windy country roads.
Have a good Tuesday!

Angående gårdagens "prat" om att det tar tid att blogga så vill jag bara säga att jag är då glad att du lägger ner den tiden för jag gillar verkligen din blogg!
Ha en bra tisdag du med!
UTAN att ha tävlat. :) Det var en fin dag, även om en
aning på den kyliga sidan, men jag ser att du har klätt
dej i dina favoritkläder för hösten. Behövdes!
Ni hade ju en fullspäckad veckända med Arlington och
Alexandria på lördagen och Bluemont på söndag. Nu är
det väl dags att planera en Appalachian vandring igen;
bör vara starka höstfärger vid det här laget.
Virginia country side är otroligt vacker !!!
Ruth i Virginia
Tack, det var roligt!!
Nej, vingårdar är inte så vanliga hemma på det hela taget. MEN fäbodar, ja det har ni minsann!! Inte dumt det heller. Inte alls.
Ert landskap är ju underbart.
Ja, tack, det är så roligt att du läser, Eva. Uppskattar det verkligen!!

JA, det var en överraskning!! Blev jätteglad, såklart!!
De hittade min bild från i fjol, och gillade den. Roligt, roligt.
Det var lite kallt, men i solen var det skönt.
Älskar den här tiden på året.
Ja, en AT-vandring skulle sitta som SMÄCK nu. Kan inte i helgen, men helgen därpå bör det kunna bli av.
Ja, Landsbygden i Virginia är så otroligt vacker!!!
Ha en finfin dag!!!
SÅ mysigt där.
OCH visst, i mysig atmosfär smakar vinet så mkt bättre. Sen om man köper hem det smakar det inte lika bra, haha.
Tack Anna!! Ja, jag älskar landskapet och landsbygden här.
A lovely state. I totally get its slogan "Virginia is for Lovers".
The wine is what it is. But it IS wine :-)
Ja, det var riktigt KUL- Blev så glad. Tack, ja landsbygden här är sååååå vacker.
Har saknat dig och bloggen. Men mitt liv har varit lite upp o ner.
