There’s nothin’ like the sound of harmonicas. And cicadas. And sipping wine.
Especially on the most perfect summer night you can imagine!
Hot, but not too hot.
Sunset. Mountains.
Delicious Jefferson Vineyards wines
We tasted the flight of Jefferson’s best and then set up our picnic by the stage
I packed a salad
A slice of leftover pizza for each of us
And watermelon!
Plus we each enjoyed a cool glass of vino – Viognier for her, Pinot Gris for him
The music was FANTASTIC!! I just love harmonicas and banjos and fiddles and cicadas!!
Dessert was chocolate!
[I FOUND A GOLDEN TICK-ET!!!!!!!!!]
Fiery red pepper!! Yum!
To conclude, Matt had a Cab Franc and I had a water and sips of Matt’s Cab Franc!
Since it was Americana night, Susan B. even joined in on the fun!

It looks like a great evening for sure. How was the chocolate because it looks like bloomed which shouldn’t happen with a properly tempered bar?

The chocolate wasn’t great – perhaps our AC-less house?

This seriously depicts every aspect of a perfect summer night. I love your dress! (Susan B.’s might be better but probably a little too hot for a summer night 😉 )
I also love that picture looking into the wine glass where you can see your hand at the bottom. Is that weird? haha. Those types of photos are the ones that resonate with me for whatever reason.
Glad you had a fun/relaxing night! 🙂

Is that Grace Potter on the front of your chocolate bar? Sure looks like her! I’m going to have to do some googling…
Mindy @ GlutenFreeMinG says
It is!! She helped create it I believe… her and those Nocturnals 🙂
Jen says
Very cool! I googled ‘grace potter chocolate’ after I left my comment and read up on it. I love her and the Nocturnals. Seeing them for the 2nd time in Charlotte at the end of August.
