The Reds and the Whites

Napa Valley. The valley sure has its beauty. There are so many vineyards and wineries, that you can't imagine that people living in this area aren't all wine connoisseurs. We rode into the valley with the aim to taste a lot of different wine. And that we did. Judd's Hill winery, was a local vineyard along our route. Our host presented us with an array of different wines to taste. I have never previously had the ability to differentiate different flavors in wines. They are either bitter or fruity. That's it. But during the tasting, I could gather certain aromas highlighted by each wine. We spent a good hour sitting and talking to the host, who took the time to answer all of our questions on the production and taste of wine. In exchange, we shared some of our stories bicycling across the country.
