Lost Acres

After celebrating Father's Day on George's Island in the Boston harbor, we (Kim, Jackie & MJ) needed to do something to celebrate Father's Day in CT with my dad. So the Bruff's of Reading headed own to Connecticut to take out Grandpa for one of his favorite past times, Wine Tasting.

Most people think of Napa Valley for the best wine in the US. I was one of those people who thought the same thing too. After hearing about the Connecticut Wine Trail from a good friend, my father and I set a goal to go to each vineyard. Lost Acres, in Granby, Connecticut was next on the list and it was even better than expected. Kim and I had been there before but my dad hadn't yet, and obviously MJ and Jackie hadn't been there either. After tasting 5 different

wines, we bought a bottle of Riesling to enjoy. Jackie ran up and down, we casually strolled through the vineyard and enjoyed a beautiful warm Saturday afternoon.

MJ did such a great job the moment we pulled into the parking lot. She didn't have any of the wine (duh), but she did a great job sleeping through the tasting. MJ also did a great job hanging out on the lawn. Once the sun came out (which forced us to the covered patio) she continued being the dream child we've come to expect her to be: cooing when tickled, smiling when someone taps her nose and all other things adorable that a 4 month old is capable of doing. But the most important thing was that she got a chance to spend some time with her grandpa for Father's Day.

Just enjoying Grandpa's smile & laugh.
