Fun winery and patio

On Sunday, Hubby and I hit the road to visit this winery.  We had a very reasonably priced tasting (5 for $5) and settled on a bottle of a red blend to enjoy on the patio.  I told the som it reminded me of a red we enjoyed here.  And wouldn't you know it, the owners of both wineries are brothers and the wineries are at opposite ends of a large vineyard that they share.

That's when we had an aha moment and remembered the other winery telling us the same thing, about a year ago!  Ha!  We had forgotten they were just across the way...anyhoo, we sat out on their horse pen turned patio and enjoyed a snack of seasoned goldfish...

 ...which were delightful and I need to google a few recipes for that.

And though the patio was in sort of a winter mess, we thought the design of it was fun.  She told us that in the summer, they let folks walk through the vineyard to visit the other winery.

That thing in the middle is a wood-fired pizza oven.  Wouldn't this structure be fun up at Highlands?  Plenty of space to shelter from rain or blazing sun, an open roof to admire the stars.  Wood burning chimineas all around. Except for sweeping now and again and weeding that round gravel area once or twice a year, I think this one is creative and fun!
