LP : BELLA BELLA!

If you're thinking about joining a wine club, think BELLA you get invited to cool parties.

AMAZING ZIN

Bella Winery in Healdsburg is amazing. They host the BEST events. They have delicious wine and they are super-friendly peeps. This past weekend they had their "Under The Board Walk" Summer Wine Celebration - think Coney Island back in the day... (yes it's September, but it's not Fall yet in Sonoma County) the sun is still shining bright!

The event unfolded throughout the day with live music, family-friendly 'beach' games, face painting for the kiddos, corn dogs (and fries), a dunk tank (yep!), awesome wine tasting along the "Boardwalk" and Hoola Hooping for all ages. I was so amazed at how people are able to Hoola Hoop I forgot to snap a pic.

Highlights of the day, my cousin's boyfriend competing in the tricycle race which I also forgot to snap a picture of because it was just too darn exciting and I didn't want to miss a second of it. Serious. Oh, and the Maple Vineyard Zin produced by Bella Winery was another highlight. Learn more about Tom and Tina MAPLE and the grapes they grow. This delish Zinfandel produced in 2011 will be fierce as it ages. No doubt. It was super tasty. Smooth. Full of flavor. Hints of.... well I can say raisins but your palate may differ. Just taste it for yourself!

Not only was the 'Under the Boardwalk' event a blast, the grounds and winery at Bella are cool all around... like this....

This wasn't part of the Boardwalk but this dining room at Bella is super gorgeous.

Back to the Boardwalk....

Get your corn dogs!

I didn't catch their name but these girls rocked the ukes.

Going deeper into the wine cave, which was part of the 'Boardwalk' wine tasting route... I had to wait to take this pic. There were tons of people walking through and finally I just asked people if they could stop so I could take a pic. Everyone was happy to do so. No judgement. They just sipped away...
