Labor Day… And a beautiful one! It went from 90 degrees yesterday to a chilly 71 today. Literally we all wore hoodies!

But it was gorgeous and relaxing. We met up with Matthew and Beth to head up to Chateau St. Croix for a wine tasting. It was Matthew’s first!! We enjoyed it a lot … Great Groupon deals if you are interested.

Then we found a little place for lunch… Very Minnesota country, but good!

We found another winery and the wine was just okay. The service was HORRID. It wasn’t worth the $5 tasting fee. But we had a fun time!

When we got home, Yamar and I sat on the patio sipping some wine and reading a book. He enjoyed all of the commotion with the kids running around the neighborhood.

Pooch was tuckered and for some reason, really enjoyed sleeping in the dark kitchen.

Awhile back, we (and some friends) bid and won a wine tasting party with a sommelier. After some schedule snafus, we finally enjoyed ourselves.

Amazing night, beautiful setting, a great sommelier, great (and too much) wine, good food and of course, great friends!

We joined the Eden Prairie Wine Club about a year ago… Run by the liquor store which is owned by the city. (Which I think is awesome.) For $25, we get access to 4 tastings a year for free and 15% off all wines. DEAL!

Tonight… Kendall Jackson family which includes some places we visited in Napa and are members with. Yum!

An I won a bottle of wine for answering a question. (All about memory, baby.)
