Bicycle riding isn't the only hobby my husband and I have in common; however, we did go for a couple of nice rides this weekend. We also love to go to wine tastings and visit different vineyards. Connecticut actually has numerous vineyards, and a few of them are worth visiting. The wine trail website has a listing and directions to all of them http://www.ctwine.com/. This weekend my husband and I visited Hopkins Vineyard. Every year they have a barrel tasting. Hopkins' annual barrel tasting is a great place to visit for an afternoon of food, wine, and live music. Their grounds are beautiful, and you can bring chairs and blankets to lounge around on while eating their assortment of artisan cheeses, pates, and fruit. This year they offered a barrel tasting of their Pinot Noir, along with a regular tasting of all of their wines. They also sell wine by the glass and bottle, so you can hang out with family and friends and relax. We enjoyed a picnic lunch and a couple bottles of wine. It was nice to hang out and be with each other. It was a beautiful day well spent.
