Front Royal Road Trip and Winery Report

Drove up the Front Royal, VA Friday morning to install two sinks and a elder friendly high rise twolet in my Father in Law's house. After a full day doing sink installs we had steak dinner at Joe's Steak House with her dad. It was a super meal Today after finishing the installs, Mary Lee and I took a Winery Recon Ride this afternoon. Headed east on Route 55 out of Front Royal. Lots of winerys in VA and we drove by a bunch today and chose two to visit. First one was Barell Oak Winery (BOW) a dog friendly place. They have a Bow and a Wow tasting of 10 wines. I chose the Bow tasting and tried 6 of the 10 and chose to take home a bottle of BOWHaus White 2010. Their Chocolate Lab dessert wine was super, too. Next we went to MiracleValley Vineyard and tried 7 and bought 3 - Cobbler Mountain White, a 2008 Merlot and Sweet Michelle. We finished off the day with dinner date to Casteriana's Italian Restaurant in Front Royal. I had a superb Shrimp Primavera with fresh veggies in white wine sauce. ML had Tortellini Michelangelo with chicken and ham in a sherri cream sause. Tomorrow home again to VB.
