Who Knew?
Nebraska, at least the eastern portion, is really lovely. Who knew that we'd find a winery here?! James Arthur Winery is in Raymond, Nebraska amidst rolling green hills. We stopped in for a tasting session and bought a couple of bottles although the wine is surely not as good as CA wine. The vines, from New York and France, were planted about 12 years ago and the winery opened in 1996.
We just watched the movie SIDEWAYS so we were nostalgic for the ambience of wine tasting...the nose in the glass, the swirling liquid, the chatter-patter of the vintners. $4 per person for 4 selections and you get to keep the glasses (hopefully we won't break them).
This is a great time to be travelling here for the scenery and so far for the weather. Today was 80 and sunny, a great day for sipping the grape.
