King Estate Winery

Monday, December 7, 2009

Besides running in and out at the ER, I should be thankful because I still managed to spend quality time with Chean, Miyaki, and a very good friend of us, Leo on Thanksgiving.

Taking a two and half hours drive to an organic vineyard in Eugune is not a bad idea; it turned out great indeed ;)

kingestate_chean+me4
Taa Daa~~ We are here! (Sorry for the overexposure, Chean)

Why King Estate Winery?

It was my idea. My friends and I visited this place while we were working on our International Marketing assignment in the Spring. This is the company we chose.

Then, it's all about the butterflies, chemistry and the love at first sight thingie that draw me for this second visit.

Tell me how? How can you not fall in love with such a beautiful scene?

kingestate_view
Look at the cotton candies! There are up on the sky.

kingestate_view2
Excuse me? Are we in the heaven?

kingestate_chean+me
Yes, we are ;)

kingestate_leo+me
Leo and I, at the main entrance.

kingestate_interior
The lobby. Can you see me?

kingestate_tastingbar
That's the wine tasting bar. It usually gets very crowded at the noon, trust me.

My favorite part of all, the free winery tour! Tour is available upon request. Yup, for any guest.

We are about to unveil the process of wine-making. Wooo Hooo~~

kingestate_process
Randy, the manager, seems a little rush and "unfriendly" compare to last time.

kingestate_leo+me2
Randy's explaining how they use the tanks to abstract the organic grapes. (personally, I think the Michael-Jackson's pose is unnecessary)

kingestate_agingroom
Welcome to the underground aging room~~ I love the smell~~

kingestate_barrel
All barrels are made of oak and are imported from France. Cool huh? Each of them cost around US$ 800-1000. Seriously, I see many LV bags hanging around in this room @.@

It was a very simple and brief winery tour, I guess they are just too busy during weekends. It's ok ^^

Ohh, did I mention they have an awesome restaurant too? Everything is organic too, so Oregon.

kingestate_bread
Complimentary sesame bread.

kingestate_chean+leo
Guys talk about Chean newly bought Canon G11.

kingestate_pizetta
The appetizer, Mushroom Pizetta.

kingestate_lamb
Chean and Leo's main course, medium-done lamb leg.

kingestate_ribs
My BBQ pork ribs! Yay!!! (FYI: I don't eat beef and lamb, so really not much choices)

kingestate_ribs2
Juicy and tender... and organic!

More piccies...

kingestate_miyaki+me
Miyaki baby!

kingestate_miyaki+me2
Look at his new haircut! Soooo cute right? Muaksss...

kingestate_lavender
Lovely Lavender...

Do you know that red wines are rich in antioxidant, help keep the heart healthy and ward off cancer?

kingestate_chean+me2

嗯,妳写的东西都那么精彩,什么题材也不要紧吧。

哪儿真的很漂亮。多多的棉花云,蓝蓝的天。。。美国的秋/冬天,好像都比欧洲爽,因为,不会好像哪儿一样那么冷。可以穿得很漂亮,不需像在欧洲哪儿包得整粒粽子酱。呵呵。。。
