So, Happy Day After Mother\u2019s Day!<\/span><\/p>\n

See, I think we can make everyday a Holiday of some sort and celebrate with alcohol and pi\u00f1atas. Okay, maybe just the alcohol, no need to give a bunch of drunk adults baseball bats to swing blindly at a pi\u00f1ata\u2026just seems like a bad idea.<\/span><\/p>\n

Now back to a Hoot n Annie wine run…<\/span><\/p>\n

Annie\u2019s mom came up yesterday to spend part of Mother\u2019s Day with us (and see Sammy of course, he is the star attraction) and we didn\u2019t really have any plans other than hanging out, chatting, and of course the obligatory mimosa to celebrate Mother\u2019s Day.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, we decided spur of the moment to head over to Barrel 27<\/a> and Hug Cellars<\/a>. They\u2019re only a few minutes from our house and we were running dangerously low on wine so we headed out. We\u2019ve been to both of these spots before but Hug has always been one of our local favorites. They have a great line up of wines and the owners are some of the nicest people in Paso.<\/span><\/p>\n

Over at Barrel 27, another great line up of wines and the ladies in there pouring us wine got to experience what relatively new parents do\u2026talk about bowel movements and what not\u2026so, my apologies to them!! All kidding aside, they were great and it was fun hanging out in there for a bit, Annie and I haven\u2019t been there for quite some time.<\/span><\/p>\n

We walked away from Hug with some of their 2010 el conquistador (43% Cab Sauv, 18% Merlot, 12% Mourvedre, 20% Petit Verdot, and 7% Syrah) and their 2011 Vino Del Cielo (Viognier). Both great wines, we loved everything on the list but you can only grab so much wine. At Barrel 27 we left with their Head Honcho (2009 Syrah), 2010 High on the Hog (white wine), and 2009 Sittin\u2019 Pretty (Viognier). I guess the theme of the day for us was\u2026Viognier!!<\/span><\/p>\n

So if you\u2019re ever in their neck of the woods, be sure to stop in at Barrel 27 and Hug Cellars, there\u2019s also Brochelle Winery<\/a> right next to them. We would have gone in there too but we limited ourselves to two and headed back to the air conditioning at the house and Sammy\u2019s nap time.<\/span><\/p>\n

That\u2019s what our Mother\u2019s Day 2013 consisted of, hope everyone had an enjoyable one. Cheers and Happy Monday!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n
