If you don't mind me asking, what winery is it? If you don't feel comfortable posting it you can send me a PM. I'm interested because I've been to a couple here and probably going to a couple more next week! Just wanted to see if I've been there!

misscrafty84 · June 2012

Jenni-

The only other place we thought might be a possibility was the Hutchinson Event Center, but we didn't love the look of it, and there's a bar right next door which we weren't crazy about. Its a gorgeous place, if you look up their FB they have music and stuff on weekends sometimes, and ofcourse great wines! I really like the pumpkin(def for Thanksgiving this year!) and the apricot dessert wine.

Sleeper- I LOVE the babies, now everytime I see a term nerborn I think, wow that baby is huge! lol. We are planning on TTC right after the wedding but I definitely get my baby-fix at work!
