To make sure that we have consistent dates with each other we have decided that each month we will allocate a certain amount of money and that we would do a 60/40 spilt so one person will have 60% of the amount to plan a date and the other would have 40% and then the next month it would switch. This month I had the 60% so I started trying to find something fun and different to do. I did some research and found this winery in Santa Fe which is about 20-30 minutes away. So, on Friday we arranged for Peyton to visit Grandma and we headed out for a tour and tasting (after a gourmet lunch at Whataburger). It was pretty neat to see how the wine is made and hear the history of how the Haak's got into making wine. I also enjoyed tasting five different wines and we ended up purchasing a white and a red. It was something different and actually ended up being cheaper that budgeted which means more money for John to plan with or another date! I think we will for sure make another trip out to the winery but probably during one of their events. They have various weekend concerts, dinners and other events that they put on which sound like a blast.
I would recommend it to anyone in the area as it is something fun and different to do. You can check out their website for more information.
Next date....at my request...the new James Bond movie!!

As an update, we bought a couple of bottles of wine while out at the winery. We had the 2008 Blanc du Bois Semi-Sweet the other night with Tuna steaks and it was wonderful! One of our favorite white wines. You don't have to go to the winery to pick up some of their wine as it sold online and at some Texas grocery stores (http://www.haakwine.com/Our_wine.htm).
