A Veronet Nice Day (4/15/23)

What a lovely day! Maybe it takes the rain to make us really enjoy the sun because after some more rain earlier this week, it was lovely to be outside enjoying the sun and temps in the high 70s.

I started the day early to head out to the Thermal Belt Rail Trail for a 24 mile training run. All went well, and I just have 1 more long run to do before the marathon in Australia on May 28! This afternoon Bob and I headed to Shelby for a quick book return and pick up at the library before heading out towards Kings Mountain to visit Veronet Vineyards and Winery, another local winery that we had seen advertised.

The winery opened at noon. We arrived at 12:15. We followed 2 cars into the parking lot, including one van, 2 more cars were behind us and the parking lot already seemed to be full! However, the staff were friendly, there was plenty of seating, both inside and out, and the views were lovely! The wine was yummy as well. We had a lovely walk around the grounds as well as a relaxing sit (both inside and out).

Another facility (event space maybe?) and more outdoor seating

To end the day on a great note, Chef Bob is making Squid Ink pasta with mixed seafood, a favorite dish of ours, inspired by a dish we had in Venice.
