The cruisers met at Lowe's
in Mansfield with a 10 am planned departure. |

We waited a bit longer
than planned for one missing couple - finally departing
at 10:10 am |

Our 1st Stop -
Sunset Winery - Burleson, TX |
 |

We arrived at the winery where owners
Bruce & Birgit Anderson had lunch and a great visit
planned for us.

Bruce provided the history
of Sunset Winery, the story of their vineyards and the
facility. |
 |
 |
|
|
 |
|
 |
 |
Lunch was catered by
Sunset for us to enjoy in the Barrel Room which had been
nicely prepared. |
 |
|
|
|
|
 |
We enjoyed tasting five of
their wines, along with a gourmet croissant sandwich,
vegetable tray, potato salad and a piece of cheesecake;
last but not least, one glass of wine (your choice) was
included. |
 |

After lunch, Birgit took
half the group for a tour of their wine making processes |
 |
|
|
|
|

Here,
Mary demonstrated the labeling process |

Bruce took the rest of us
after they had time to get about half-way thru the tour |
 |
|
|
|
|
|
 |
 |
 |
 |
|

The tour was great, lots
of detail, some humor and of course all questions were
answered |

After you finished the
tour, you were routed to the wine tasting bar to pay for
your lunch and any desired purchases |

outside as we waited on everyone to finish - he then
