Spring 2010 Wine Tour

The wine tour on May 16, 2010 was a huge success! Thank you to all of our customers that decided to come along and to all the wineries that were kind enough to host our group. Below are some of the great pictures we took while on the tour.

We started at 8AM at Vintner's Cellar Waterloo where we loaded up on the limo bus provided by Brentwood Livery. If you need luxurious transportation, then this is the company to call!

Our first stop was at Joseph's Estate. They were having a special on Pinot Grigio the day we were there. Look for their wines on the wine lists of your favorite restaurants.

Dr. Joseph walked us through the wine making process and educated us on what is involved in running a winery.

Joseph's Estate ferments and ages their wine in large stainless steel containers to produce a high quality wine.

We were lucky enough to have a tour of the bottling area of the winery. It must be amazing to see it in action!

Dr. Jospeh provided us with a tasting of a few of his delicious wines. At this point we were starting to get a bit rowdy. Thank you for your patience, and multiple bell rings to get our attention....
