Jay, Becca, Brian and I attended a tour and wine tasting at Grace Hill Winery last month through the Young Professionals of Wichita. We may or may not have been the oldest attendees. LOL. <\/p>\n

Everyone met up in the Rotary Club parking lot downtown (which I didn’t even know existed but is pretty cool — I’ll show you pictures of it later) where we boarded a party bus to the winery in Whitewater, which is about 30 minutes away. Here are a few pictures from our outing. <\/p>\n

I’m not sure why these two looked so serious. By the way, check out Jay’s spiffy “Rebecca” name tag. LOL. <\/p>\n

The two people who ran the wine tasting were very informative. They were also super nice and poured quite generously. I wish I would have blogged about this sooner because, now that I’ve slept since then, I can’t remember their names. <\/p>\n

Here are pictures of the wines we got to sample. First up was El Gato Moscato. <\/p>\n

This one is Dodging Tornados, a sweet red. <\/p>\n

\"Untitled\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This one is Vignoles. I don’t think I liked this one because it wasn’t memorable to me. I don’t think I liked this next one either. <\/p>\n

\"Untitled\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Chloe’s Cuvee is one of my favorites. We actually bought a bottle of this wine from the gift shop to take home with us.<\/p>\n

\"Untitled\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Peckerhead Red, also a sweet red.<\/p>\n

\"Untitled\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Black Out dessert wine.<\/p>\n

This is the Beach Day Rose. It wasn’t part of the wine tasting but it was what the girl was drinking and she let me try some of it. <\/p>\n

Just a few of the bottles of wine that was consumed that afternoon. <\/p>\n

Vs. the bus ride back to Wichita when everyone was so much more relaxed, as can be expected after a few glasses of wine. <\/p>\n

Some obligatory selfies. <\/p>\n

It was a great time and I would totally do it again. I’m glad we decided to go. I’m also glad that Jay and Becca decided to join us. <\/p>\n
