McKinney Wine-ing

So the next day after Grapefest, we had an appointment to see our IRA (money gal) server in McKinney.  While there, I suggested we go to the two wineries there and pick up our club selections.  We set the GPS ("Gypsy") for Dusti's address since this was a new office and we'd never been there.  After taking us on quite a round-a-bout trip, it took us right across the street from our favorite McKinney restaurant--Café Malaga.  We told Dusti if she'd just told us what the office was across from, we'd have found it easy.  We love Café Malaga.

So, next we went to Lone Star Wine Cellars.  I first wanted to confirm that they had gotten my e-mail about cancelling my membership.  The wine seller behind the counter called the owner who talked to me and asked if I'd tried their newest wine--a slightly sparkling moscato.  Usually they are too sweet for me, but this was nice.  We already had one selection coming from before I cancelled, so I got two bottles of the moscato.  However, I'm not at all sure she actually cancelled my membership--  I'm inclined to think not since I was wishy-washy on the phone.  We each had a glass as well and some warm nuts.

Then we went to Landon who have two sparkling wines we really like plus a bunch of fruit wines that are fun.




We got two bottles each of the sparklings, then ordered a bottle to drink there, plus a cheese platter which would be supper.  Originally the plan had been to go to Café Malaga, but a friend has asked us to join her for lunch at Pho Yen Phi earlier and there was only a very little hunger in us.  I can always enjoy a cheese platter with a bottle of sparkling for supper...  :-)
