"Today is a Good Day to Drive!" .....Van-Go

Today we used our passes to get in to SDC once again after Kathy's visit to the dentist.  She had a hollow spot on that front tooth filled, but gave her a numbed up lip that lasted a few hours. There was a shoot out on the main street! We had lunch in the employee dining hall; ham and potatoes with a tomato rice blend as all the veggies were gone and the salad bar was already closed up.  The price was right at just $2.50!

Free tour and tasting!! Karen gave a wonderful tour telling us about the city of Hermon, MO where Stone Hill began.

Karen took us to the tasting room where we sampled about a dozen different wines: Reserve Chardonel, Hermannberger, Norton, Cross J Vineyard Norton, Traminette, Steinberg White, Steinberg Red, Vigoles, Rose Montaige, Golden Spumante, Jacquesse Kick'n Berry, Pink Catawba, Concord, Cream Sherry, and our favorite Vidal Blac.  Karen told us about dry and sweet, oak and metal barrels, smooth and rich, light and flowery. Loved the glass topsa and the grapevine glasses. We picked up a bottle of Golden Spumante,  actually corked by Bob!
