The 5th cork makes a team: July 8, 2011

A random little jaunt on our tour led us to the WunderRosa Winery in Roca. Jessi had called ahead and the owners were kind enough to open a half an hour early so we would have enough time for the tasting before meeting my sister to bring me back to Kearney. We got there shortly after a larger group of older wine lovers and set up shop at a table by a window that looked out over the vineyard. We snatched wine lists and picked out the ones we wanted to try.

Jessi and I kind of kept to ourselves while the larger group did their tastings, only leaving our table when they had gone back to the seating area they staked out before we arrived. They got done with their tastings before we did and settled in to enjoy a glass of wine and the bruschetta bar.

This is when we got down to what we do best. Jessi and I parked ourselves at the bar and chatted with Brandy, the intern, about the winery. We also told her about our wine tour stops and the plans for the rest of our adventure.

We found out that she had been visiting Nebraska vineyards/wineries and tasting rooms also and blogging about them on her own site (amoradevine.tumblr.com if you want to check it out). Another group of visitors put the kibosh on our conversation, but as Jessi and I retreated back to our table with our glasses of wine, we continued to talk about the idea of blogging about our adventure. This blog is, of course, the result of that little chat over a glass of WunderRosa wine… I believe mine was my favorite of the tasting, the HR Blush 2010.

We had a good time at WunderRosa. The conversation was very enlightening and the environment was comfortable. Jessi gets to go back soon, but I’ll let her tell about that adventure.
