Winery-Hopping


There’s nothing quite like a day trip to wine country and tasting their product. The Wine Doctor’s golden rules for making the most out of this outing are as follows. Plan ahead. Choose 3 or 4 wineries that are relatively close together, a few smaller ones and a few larger ones. Make sure one of them has a restaurant on site so you can dine there without having to look around for somewhere to eat. Bring some bottled water with you. Avoid wearing strong smells. Wear dark clothes in case you spill something on yourself. Experiment with different wine styles and varieties. Ask questions. Take lots of breaks and nibble often. Most importantly, don’t swallow and know when to call it quits. Enjoy yourself.
