with emily in town for the weekend, we decided to shake things up from our normal dc routine and venture out into the boonies of virginia for some wine tasting. we hopped in our red rental mini cooper and drove out to prince michel winery, stocked with angry bird road snacks and nowhere near enough water. around 15 wine tastings deep i was definitely feeling the sugar high from one too many sweet wine pours. post palate cleansing bellinis, sangria, and fist fulls of oyster crackers, we brought our birds, nuts and grapes into the vineyard for a wee picnic before scrambling back to the car before the torrential downpour.

more food adventures to come!
