Greetings from Karen, Innkeeper...

I thought I would stay with the upcoming event 'Wine and Art" well actually the Wine part. Thought it would be great to do wine tastings paired with food though I am no "expert" in wine I do love my wine. When I first started drinking wine, I was intimidated by all the different types of wine there are. Over the years I have become more experienced in the "whole" wine etiquette and sometimes I just pick a bottle of wine because of the label or the name (ssshhhh don't tell) and sometimes they are the best ones! My son bought me a wine bible to mark down the name and type of wine and rating which really is a great reference to go back to especially when I find one I really like.  I am getting off track here but the main reason why I want to incorporate some wine events is to expose my guests to the awesome wineries we have here in Lancaster County. The first I will share with you is Nissley Winery.  It is located in Bainbridge about 6 miles up the road.  Its grounds are just beautiful and during the summer months they have lawn concerts that you can attend ( and we have discount tickets).  Its a great night out - bring a picnic and drink some wine and listen or dance to some music.  The wine is good. My favorite is their Rhapsody in Blue - not only because its a neat bottle its really good - crisp white semi dry. It is a blend of French grapes.  The best part is they grow their own grapes.
