A fun way to end the wine trail

Hubby and I reached the limit of how much driving we were willing to do for the wine trail passport. So by late afternoon on Saturday, we decided we were done with it and headed to Blanco to visit Esperanza.
There's just something about the cozy tasting room and wonderful wines in small town Texas.  We love this place! (the birdcage below has 128K corks and weighs over 500 pounds!)  When you sit in here, its like visiting a friend's house.
 
 She offered a small bowl of snacks which we happily munched.  Then she told us a parade was going to happen at 6 p.m. in the town square.  Let's go!  But not before we joined her wine club and now we are "founding members"!

 
 The weather was cool and the crowds were smallish.  Kind of like Austin used to be - before it got "discovered" by everyone.
 

We ate roasted corn and walked all over the square, and used up every bit of energy we had left, then went home and had chili and tortilla chips before bed.  Wine trail over, Christmas kicking into high gear...just a few more days and we'll have a whole new year!
