With our last free day in this area, we decided to head over to the historic town of Weston. We had heard that there was a good winery and brewery in addition to a quaint downtown area. We arrived in town late in the afternoon. The streets were so narrow, they were a bit difficult to navigate with the Behemoth. But we found a central parking place near the brewery and winery. We decided to visit the winery first and do a tasting. We were again pleasantly surprised at the quality of some of the wines at the Pirtle Winery. Our host turned out to be the owner and head vintner! We had a great time talking with him about his wines as we tasted. With a new crop being picked as we drank, he was anxious to move stock and offered us some great discounts. We picked up 6 bottles made with their locally grown Norton grapes and even a Blueberry Wine (It was surprisingly dry!). We had them open a bottle for us and we went out on their wonderful patio in the shade and enjoyed a relaxing bottle of wine. Leslie decided it was a good time to get some post cards done as well. We finished our bottle just as they were closing the tasting room, so we went back to the Behemoth and decided to drive to the old downtown. The buildings lining main street date back to the 1860s. Unfortunately, most of the shops had already closed for the day but we enjoyed checking the old town out before heading back to the Wanderer. With the number of motorcycles parked at the brewery, we decided it would be wise to skip a visit this time.
