Another weekend of gorgeous, albeit rain-free, weather required another trip to a vineyard. Today, we headed west on Highway 71 to the Stone House Vineyard for lunch, a wine tasting, and general relaxation. Although I liked the tempranillo best on our last visit, my tastes seem to have shifted toward a preference for the Claros. While the tempranillo was sharp, almost spicy, the Claros was smooth and understated. After deciding to share a bottle, we spent the rest of the afternoon relaxing under the warmth of the sun, in the way of a perfectly cool breeze. After the nearly nap-inducing drive back, more relaxation commenced over perfectly warming coffee on Lake Austin at Mozart's. Finally, and naturally, dinner was capped off with another glass or two of the Claros while playing a seriously addicting version of solitaire. As if they weren't already, today simply proved yet again that Saturdays are my favorite days of any given week.
