On Saturday afternoon, we drove to a nearby winery for a private tasting, tour, and antipasti buffet (that turned into dinner). As Gega, Allison, and Ethan explored the olive trees, the rest of us tasted delicious wines. Although we expected some snacks after the tasting, we weren't prepared for the huge array of antipasti laid out for us: fresh mozzarella and plum tomatoes, thinly sliced meats and salamis, bread covered in fresh olive oil made on the premises, a cherry and strawberry salad, aged and fresh pecorino cheese with marmalade, and glasses of our preferred wine from the tasting. Adding to the experience was the fantastic setting: a large patio overlooking the nearby vineyards with a hill town in the distance. The meal was something you expect to read about in a magazine or watch on Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous. Of course, they would probably edit out when the 2 year old starts throwing cherries or the 4 year old has a meltdown for no particular reason, but that's neither here nor there.
