Girls weekend of chuckles, chugs and cheese!

Awww, girls weekend.  We do this once a year and as much as I wish it were once a month (tehe) it's nice to have this to look forward to.  We are all so busy in our lives so it's great to focus on each other and have a fun, bonding weekend together.  And even more fun when wine's involved!  We headed up to Temecula for a wine and cheese pairing tour at Leonesse.  Yum, one of my favorite wineries and it's also a beautiful venue.

 

Leanne and Jenny shared a plate at the pairing, such beautiful girls.

And our tour started in this large room where we enjoyed 6 wines (actually 7 since Shauna asked to taste the Zin and we all profited) paired with delicious cheese, and some fruit and black licorice, yum!

My pairing partner.

After the wine pairing, they gave us a tour through the beautiful vineyards.

Then we were taken down to their barrel room, pretty impressive.

After Leonesse, we headed to Ponte for a bottle of Chardonnay.

This was a popular place, it was over an hour wait for lunch so we drank instead of ate. :)

Which led to some silliness. :)  We headed to Maurice Carie for their amazing brie bread bowl and some champagne to finish off a wonderful trip.

 

After spending a comfortable night in Shauna's new apartment in Carlsbad, we enjoyed a breakfast of champions. :)  Love my girls, so much fun.
