Colorado Wine Country

Palisade, Colorado is a river town on the western slope of the Rockies.
It is known for its fabulous peaches and Colorado wines. We stopped at
the Carlson Vinyards and tasted the selection, including a Reisling
which, in 2004, won an international prize for best Reisling.
After the tasting and wine purchases we were invited to eat our picnic
lunch in their lovely yard looking out at the vines. Leah played with
her new hackey sac and Axel frolicked about the yard. Those familiar
with this blog may wonder if there were any donkeys. There were several
friendly kitties but the closest we got to a donkey a possible mule
sighting on the drive in.
Next stop: Utah Lake just east of Provo, then on to California on
Thursday
