About a year ago Christy invited Sheree and I to partake in a group-on for a bus ride to surrounding vineyards. Funny thing about it was Sheree and I bought the group-on and Christy did not. The good news was that after a couple times of trying to set it up we finally boarded the "short" bus and Sheree and I had a really good time!
Our first stop was the Syringa Winery. Funny thing was this winery was smack in the middle of Garden City, since the only wine tasting I had ever done was in the heart of Tuscany that became the slogan for the day. The wine here was OK but not worth a purchase for my tastes.
Yes friends, the winery is in the garage.
Next stop Williamson Vineyards.
Things are looking up, here I bought a very nice port wine and a couple of stocking staffer's.

Bottoms up...
One of my favorite stops...
St. Chapelle
It was here that I almost became a member of my first wine club but with Sheree's help I held of the urge. I did buy one bottle of wine but only because Sheree reminded me that we could purchase them cheaper in the store.

The party bus.
Was not much of a party when we left Boise but by the time we left the last winery everyone was hitting the stripper pole...
Yes, stripper pole...
Koenig's Vodka and Brandy
Robison's Winery & Fruit Stand
Worthy of 2 purchases.

The Story of the Apple-Matic
One day a sweet young thing decided to test technology. There before her was a sign which read, "get a fresh, cold APPLE for only 35 cents". It was then a kind stranger offered her some change for her purchase.
The young maiden placed the change in the slot to be left empty handed.
When a stranger said, "are you sure it didn't drop?"
The young maiden reached her hand into the APPLE-MATIC and then she was surprised when she was greeted by a pear.
"A PEAR", she said.
"WHY DID I GET A PEAR OUT OF AN APPLE MACHINE"
Regardless the young maiden ate the pear but not without further dismay and discussion.
All in all it was a tasty pear.
