I love summer! As odd as it sounds, the hot weather and long days hold some of my best memories. Being outside with the kids is such a treat and grilling on the BBQ makes it that much better. Every year, my wife and I look forward to the Berries and BBQ part of the Hermann Wine Trail. This year was no exception. The weather was overcast on Saturday so it made sitting outside such a great treat! Each of the wineries prepared a delicious Berry / BBQ treat and paired it with one of their delicious wines. Many thanks to all that helped make this a great (and tasty) event! Cheers to you. 😉
