To wine or not to wine?

 I know I have mentioned this before, but wine club pick-ups don't have the same feel that they did in the past.  Even though I love the wineries and the people we know there. {ditto for the brewery we frequented}

Last weekend I took two of my peeps to one of my favorites.

It was a beautiful day - the sun was out, the music was great, the wine wonderful as always, the burgers tasty.  What's not to love?  My sister and BIL joined us a bit late, and we didn't stay long after we finished our bottle.

We really enjoyed the tasting among the vines.  The teeny tiny grape flowers smell amazing!

A couple of silly selfies were taken.  We had such a great spot under the trees outside of the tank room.

And enjoyed petting the winery cat.

But everything about it feels like the shine is off.  Mark would have loved everything about this pick-up party and I'm sure we would have stayed longer, even though the day was quite warm.  I can imagine us leaving mid-afternoon and heading back to Highlands to sit in our lounge chairs a while, build a firepit, and make dinner on the camp stove before watching the sun go down.  And I feel a little sad when I think that it will never be that way again.  

So what do I do?  Keep the wine clubs and just accept the different vibes or move on and find something else to do?
