Corliss Estates Winery

David and I went to a tasting at Corliss Estates last night. Corliss Estates rarely open their doors to guests - even last night's event was an invite-only occasion. The winery was established by an uber wealthy couple who made a lot of money in Real Estate, and wanted to build a facility and tasting room for their friends to hang out in, in private. The tasting room (for use of a better term - it's huge), is opulent, but somehow it works. It's been beautifully designed, and the materials are gorgeous. They also have a wine library which was, of course, my favorite part. 

Cooking Mosaic: Turkey & Crimini Mushroom Meatloaf
