Our travel day was long, but we had called ahead to
Caudalie Winery and Farms to let them know we would be arriving that afternoon. Caudalie is a member of
Harvest Hosts. We chose this winery for its close proximity to McKinney, Texas where we would go the following morning with Sol to have her front windshield measured for a day shade to go along with the night shade she already has.
The route was not too bad, we traveled major US highways until about 30 miles from the winery. Our route took us through the winding streets of Weston, Texas. All I can say is they need to trim their trees!
After we arrived at the winery and got set up, we walked over to the barn to see the animals.
George was enjoying some down time. Ringo looks just like George, but has a very light gold mark on his muzzle. Yes, they are named after two famous singers.
These baby goats felt safe on the bale of hay. The others were rambunctious, fighting over their food.
This guy enjoyed watching us as much as we enjoyed watching him and the antics of all the others.
Later in the evening, Bob and I went to the tasting room for a private tasting. We enjoyed talking with Ray and Sue and learning about their winery. We tried six wines and found them all to be excellent. We chose a bottle for Bob's mom and called it a night.
The next morning we made our way to McKinney and MCD Innovations for Sol's measurements. Luckily, MCD was only 5 miles from the winery! After Sol was measured and Bob felt comfortable with the instructions for mounting the new shade (it would be custom made and mailed to us), we started our trip north. We planned to stop somewhere in Oklahoma for a few nights before heading to Arkansas.
