The Bible constantly references vineyards in parables...the first miracle Jesus performed was turning water into wine...I'm not a drinker of alcohol myself but I love some of the associations with wine--leisurely times with family and friends, a fancy feast, unwinding at the end of the day.
This weekend Jeff and I had the pleasure of enjoying the beauty of the Mackinaw Valley Vineyard...from its veranda you can see a 30-mile stretch of the Illinois Countryside. We strolled around the lake, listened to live music...and of course, Jeff sampled two kinds of beer.
I fell in love with a Green Onion cheese that took first prize at the Illinois State Fair. For $8 a block it was worth it! We snacked on it for dinner and enjoyed each other's company on a breezy summer night. It was a wonderful treat.
