Aging barrels are donated to charities when retired for auctioning. The photo does not do the beauty of these barrels justice. They are a gorgeous crystalline aubergine inside from the wine aging.

I love local wineries. It seems like there are always stories, characters, and I haven't really had a terrible glass of wine at any. Great post!

I agree on the back story on the wineries but unlike you I HAVE had a terrible glass of wine at some! A favorite memory (the winery shall remain nameless) being in California where they sold a wine that was promoted as 'best when mixed with Champagne and Sangria'. The price point of the bottle should have been a clue but it was one of the few spots that I hid a grimace when taking a sip and poured the entire glass out when the winemaker turned around. Fortunately this was not the case at either winery in Lubbock!

I love that photo of the inside of the wine barrel! What a cool tour you had.
I thought about you today, and totally gave you a shout-out on my site for being so talented with your seasonal recipe posting. You are great, and I really love reading your stuff, looking at your beautiful pictures and enjoying your trips vicariously through this blog!

It was a great tour. I love 'how things are made' types of activities. I was truly struck about the volume of their operation as well; totally unexpected but I was clearly under educated about wine in the region.
Thank you so much for the kind words too! I commented on your blog post but you have really made my day with your generous acknowledgement.
