Anniversary Weekend <3

22. Buy the large Coach Zoe in black.
29. Go wine tasting in Temecula.

This weekend was mine and Taylor's 1 year anniversary. He got me the Coach purse I've been wanting! I knew he would get it for me, but I didn't want to get my hopes up until I actually saw it. I originally wanted the all black one, but I guess that one was sold out, and the only one left he could find is the gray and black one. I actually kind of like the gray and black better, because you can actually see the C's. The all black one hides them.
Anyhoo, my gift to him was taking him wine tasting in Temecula. If you know me at all, you know I really don't drink, and I definitely don't drink wine! It was a really cool experience none the less. We visited Callaway, Wilson Creek, Faulkner, and Maurice Car'rie. Callaway is owned by the same guy started Callaway golf clubs and Callaway Corvettes. Can you imagine how freakin' loaded that guy is?! Just at this first winery, I was already getting drunk! 6 tastings hits you pretty quickly.





Wilson Creek was my favorite. I decided I want to get married there haha. It's so beautiful! It's family owned and the couple that started it is a really cute, old couple. We had a catered lunch there and the couple talked to us about their history and the wine. The almond champagne was so tasty, but by that time I had so much wine, I couldn't drink anymore!






Next, we hit Faulkner. It was nice that it was up on a hilltop, but we weren't too impressed with that place. It's amazing how the first 2 wineries tired us out so much. By the time we got to this third one, we were already so tired and had a little bit of a wine headache, that we were ready to go home, but we still had one more winery to go!






Lastly, we visited Maurie Car'rie. I guess they're known for their garlic brie and sourdough bread. Taylor and I ordered some, and it was soooo good! The brie is baked into the middle of the bread. It's like a big ball of heart attack, but it's still delicious. :) After the tour was done and we were on our way home, I knocked out immediately and then went straight to bed for a few more hours. Next time we go on a wine tasting tour, we're either taking our first tastings slowly, or only visiting 2 wineries!
