Lucy's Weekend

You all know we are obsessed love our dogs! We kind of have a thing for mutts!

Sweet jimmy was a rescue dog through the ADRATI association in Richmond.

Wade just couldnt resist those sweet puppy eyes!

We also have another dog who is not quite a mutt...I guess "technically" Schatzi is a "designer dog". But who really wants to get technical anyhow...let's call it how it is :) She's not pure bred, hence a beautiful mutt!

These two mutts are best of friends and we feel very fortunate organizations such as ADRATI, BARK, and the SPCA are around to find dogs a good and loving home.

We also love wine, live music and fun with good friends!! So when we came across a weekend event at a nearby winery, we jumped barked at the opportunity to check it out in support of a good organization.

Lucy's weekend is an annual event held at Cooper Vineyards. Cooper Vineyards is about an hour from Richmond. Dogs were allowed, but if we're being honest, our dogs are not really well behaved enough for an event like this. We had never been before, didn't really know what to expect, and it was pushing 100 degrees, so we regretfully left the pooches at home in a/c. We did however pick up our friend Andrea and her fill in boyfriend, Rio, on the way out of town.

The tasting glasses were ADORABLE!! I don't usually care too much for the glasses with so much advertising on them, but these were great!!! We'll definitely hang onto them!

Andrea and Rio at the tasting counter. We went through the whole list!! Whew!! Glad we were planning on staying for a while! My favorites were St.Stephens Rose, Coopertage, Norton Reserve, Rhapsody, Soleil (super sweet but would be delicious over grilled peaches and ice cream!). I also have always been a fan of their Sangria. Unfortunately ABC has changed the laws and they can no longer sell their sangria-pack that you mix yourself!! It's solo delicious!! But they still had a few packs left my honey surprised me so we can have it for a party sometime!

Haha!! Thought this was so cute!!

 

While we were tasting, Rio was checking out the other dogs!

This mama had her "sexy leg" out! That's what her owner called it!!

Great bluegrass band!!

Andrea bought us a bottle to share. We had also packed a small picnic....blueberries, strawberries, cheese and crackers, and guacamole!

This pooch needed to "chill out" :)

Rio says hello!!!

How about a kiss???

We walked through the vineyard a little too! Here we were really grateful we had not brought our pups. We do not want to be held responsible for no wine for next year!!! Haha!

 

Baby grapes on the vine!

Virginia's Grape!!

 

Just being silly!!

Hope you all had a great weekend as well!!!
