Barnery Turned Winery

Our way of preparing for a monster storm?

Going motorcycle riding with our oldest and his friends while stopping in at a couple of those awesome Virginia Wineries.

Although I have been to the small and quaint Sharp Rock Winery a few times, looking at it from the vantage point of posting Barn Charm photos was a new opportunity.

We also had stopped at

 Early Mountain Vineyards (formerly Sweely Estate Winery)

I am quite happy the old barn was spared demolition when the large stately

hospitality areas were built.

The new owners have made vast improvements since we last visited.

Inside was a fabulous tasting room

and outside plenty of space for relaxing

or if the spirit moves you...and you are as competitive as my Joey

a little game involving trying to catch a ring on the hook on the pole.

 Joey won.

 I lost count on how many tries it took.

(Or how many glasses of wine were consumed waiting for someone to score)

 I do believe a good time was had by all.

Hope all my fellow Mid-Atlantic blogger friends stay safe.

I will be knitting and baking my way through the wind and rain. 

And maybe enjoying a glass of wine or two..
