Picnic at the Winery

In August Chef Pete' and others trekked about 35 miles outside of Louisville to the rural county of Henry. Why would anyone in their right mind do that? It was to attend a faux Beatles concert, meet and socialize with friends, picnic, and party at the Smith Berry Vineyard. (www.smithberrywinery.net). 
     We were so impressed at the descripton and the photos that we went with  the CHEF and others in September, with the only change being a "Motown" band and  perfect weather. 
     The deal is a modest fee (about 20 bucks each) which allows  admission, unlimited wine tasting, buffet, and entertainment. Guests seem to amplify that by bringing chairs, tables, appetizers, etc.  No coolers or alcoholic beverages are allowed but, hey, I didn't see anything.
       It was a great time, nice venue, there was a dance floor filled with partiers. The food was good, a heck of a time, if I can brag just a little. I'd go back anytime. Turn the audio on and press Play to enjoy.
