The ceremony site. It's all green now ... and still so very beautiful.
After tasting eleven (!) samples, we picked our two favorites, came up with a tentative plan/quantity and headed down the road to a neighbor winery to pick out the bubbly! Normally Gloria Ferrer winery only does tastes by the glass, more like a wine bar, but we played the "we're getting married and here to pick out wine" card and got to try all the inexpensive ones free of charge.
I think we're pretty set with what we'd like to order (one Chardonnay, one Pinot Noir, and one bubbly Brut), and now I just need to check our choices against our budget. Unfortunately, the white we liked was really expensive, so we might do the "serve the good stuff first, then the cheap(er) stuff later." I feel a little guilty about that, but even the "cheap" stuff is still really good wine and I don't think we have too many wine connoisseurs in attendance.
Are the three choices sufficient? (They were trying to convince us to have 3, adding a Syrah.)
