Our *Not quite Napa* day in Bucks County

Today was like the perfect storm, only in a good way. The weather was beautiful, I didn't have either of my 2 Sunday classes and there was no Eagles football keeping us close to home! We decided to go out to see a few of Bucks county's winerys and also practice with the camera.

We first went to Peace Valley Winery. They grow grapes ($0.75/pound) and apples ($0.65/pound) and allow you to pick them. We just took pictures (all the photos below). The tasting room was empty besides the older lady who was busy clagning bottles around in the closet and grumbling under her breath. We didn't hang around there long.

Next we used our Google directions backwards to get to Crossings Vineyard. We were lucky to find it after all the wrong turns and detours that the navigator (me) took the frustrated driver (Duane) through. This place was quite a step up from the first, alas no pictures. They had beautiful grounds in Washington crossing, PA and some great wine. The tasting room was filled with barrels and a very knowledgeable woman serving the 10 or so varieties we tasted! We bought 3 varieties.

Finally, we stopped at a place we saw on the way to Crossings, Buckingham Valley Vineyard. They allowed you pour your own tastes! We left with two bottles and a bill that cost less than one of the bottles of Crossings wine!

^Who knew Duane could juggle!?

Coincidentally, one of the photographer blogs I check out has a recent post from a wedding in Napa valley. I'm striving to be even half as good as this guy Becker but sadly think I have a long way to go...Check out his Napa valley blog post.



Thanks for looking!
