DeVault Family Vineyards

This weekend we headed to DeVault Family Vineyards in Concord, Va.  It was a quick drive down the road about 30 minutes from Lynchburg.  It was a very small winery but they have the most AMAZING white and red sangria I have ever tasted!  It was a beautiful winery and the tasting room was gorgeous! They let us taste all 7 wines that they make right in the back of the tasting room. 

This vineyard offers something unique that not a lot of wineries offer. They sell glasses of the wine and famous sangria for your to enjoy while walking around their 32 acres.  They have picnic benches all over the winery, a pool, stocked pond , and trails all around that they encourage wine tasters to visit.  It was nice to take a walk around while I was enjoying my glass of white sangria! Their wine I would say is average but if you love sangria than this is the best around!

p.s.   Later this week I will post their recipe for the white sangria!

First BBQ of 2011!

Yesterday it was near 80 degrees in Lynchburg! We had to fire up the grill and have a good ol' fashion BBQ!  You can't go wrong with burgers and dogs on the grill and enjoying time outside with good friends!  I can't wait for the weather to stay like this so we can continue to enjoy Lynchburg and all the fun things you can do outside!  Today we're heading somewhere around the area to enjoy the day! Be on the lookout for an update :) 

p.s. If you have allergies like me, you're probably dying!  I sneeze at least 10 times in a row each morning!  Craziness!


A VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY GOES OUT TO MY MOH!!! LOVE YOU!!!

Wow, its been a while! I haven't taken many pictures lately but this weekend is going to be BEAUTIFUL!! I can't wait to see what we decide to do around the Lynchburg Area.  Whatever it is , it will start with a nice BBQ out on our back patio Friday Afternoon :) In Lynchburg on Friday they are predicting it to be 82 degrees !!!!! This warm weather makes me think of flowers and colorful tulips are some of my favorites~


Enjoy the second half of the work week and look for a blog update during the early part of next week!! 

Happy Birthday Mamaw!

Happy Birthday to my Mamaw!  She passed away in January but I still miss her.  I wanted to share a quick memory that's always been one of my favorites.  I feel like I was always eating when I was with her.  One of my favorite foods was  Ore Ida Crispers.  She would fry them in her Fry Daddy to make them extra crispy! Man, were they good!  I always remember her pulling that greasy thing out and fixing them and then letting us eat a whole plate full on the kitchen counters! Yes, we use to crawl up on the counters and eat our snacks, watching t.v. 
p.s. If you saw this corner and this counter it was high and small haha! We LOVED doing that!  That is one of my all time favorite memories!  When you think about how much you miss someone you really have to just remember all those great times you had together!  

In the spirit of Birthdays, I made some funfetti cookies for a cookout we're going to tonight and to celebrate Mamaw's birthday!  These cookies are quite addicting but, most people say they are too sweet.  They pair best with a big glass of milk.  If you're curious for the recipe its right on the outside of the Funfetti box! Enjoy!
