We started our Saturday at Real Ale in Blanco. They were having a BBQ cook-off to benefit the Lone Star Paralysis Foundation.
I'm pretty sure that's not on my healthy eating plan.
What a gorgeous day it was!
We walked all around the place, listening to live music. We had plans to visit Esperanza Winery afterwards, but we headed to Vista Brewing in Driftwood next. Time to explore!
The yards just outside of the tasting room were fairly packed so we sat inside and I enjoyed a tasting of Dark Skies (a black lager aged in Sotol barrels), On the Grounds (a brown ale with Spokesman Coffee), Lorenzo (Imperial Stout with Mexican hot chocolate spices), and Grato (Lambic-style ale aged with Italian plums in Bending Branch wine barrels).
Inspired by the beer with the smoky Sotol taste, we popped over to Desert Door.
We each had a bartender's choice cocktail, which ended up being raspberry lemonade with Sotol and fresh mint. We planted ourselves on the patio, listening to live music and enjoying our snack of cheese, crackers, and pistachios.
We listened for a bit, then headed home.
The next day we had a pick up at Perissos to attend. We enjoyed a tasting of all of the wines.
And ended up sitting in our lounge chairs for a bit, and napping. We headed home at sunset and made pizza and salad, then laid on the couch and tried to keep our eyes open watching TV. And now its hard to believe its already Wednesday. I think this weekend coming up we will take Teddy with us, especially if the weather is nice.
