Inspiration for My Palate And My Writing #winetasting #Inspiration

This past weekend I visited three vineyards with my girlfriends and left inspired to write a new series featuring...yup, you guessed it--a winery. Or is it vineyard? I dug around a little, asked a few questions and learned the obvious (that didn't seem so obvious at the time while tasting over twenty varieties of wines from three different places).

A vineyard grows the grapes--seems' obvious--but doesn't necessarily make the wine. Some do, some don't. A winery has a permit to squash those little pieces of fruit and turn them into what we love so much. Wine. The places I visited grew their own grapes (and had some shipped in, this is wintry New England, folks) and also made their own wine. So, technically, I suppose we visited wineries.

What I love about the New England wineries is their infusion of fruits. I'm a sweet girl (insert snicker here). I love crisp, sweet wines and many of the fruity varieties please my palate just so. Some of the wines I sampled weren't even made with any grapes, just fruit. Yum! 

One of my favorites was a sweet blackberry wine. We were given a lovely suggestion to mix it with vodka and pour over ice. Doesn't that sound heavenly? All I need now is warm weather.

And in the midst of sampling, touring and asking questions, an idea for a new series centered around a New England winery came to life. I haven't decided if it will be based in New Hampshire (where I toured) or Maine. The wheels are spinning. First, I need a location. A fictitious town or winery. 

I'd love to hear your name ideas. If I use your suggestion I will recognize you in the acknowledgements of the first book. ​

Great piece of writing. We should support people in writing independently with great interest. This will help you to communicate with different people in better ways.
