the harvest party

I attended the Wolffer Estate Vineyard Harvest Party

on Sunday.

Each fall, I look forward to this event.

To me, it's the quintessential fall experience.

In fact, the Harvest Party is so wonderful,

that a few years ago

the Today Show filmed a segment on it.

L & C participated 

and of course, loved it!

(I loved going in the Green Room

at NBC with Hilary Swank

& Kevin Bacon!)

 I also loved meeting Meredith.

 The Harvest Party always brings good weather

and this year was no exception.

The sun was bright, the sky Hampton blue,

and it felt more like summer 

than a crisp fall day.

Clinton Curtis played 

all afternoon.

They were the perfect band

for this event -

providing a great mix of classic rock,

folk, blues, and reggae.

The food stations were mouth-watering.

And everyone gathered -

food, wine, and friends

on long picnic tables.

The Derby's

Jump Off was the first event

and it was pure pleasure to watch the riders.

The winners!

Watching the Barrel Rolling was great fun!

(Even if John didn't retain his championship...)

We spent the afternoon with

good friends.

Jenn & Geoff

Kerry & Mike walked over after riding.

Jenn & Babi

As always, having fun!

And as the sun began to set,

we gathered on the terrace

for the last few minutes 

of good conversation

until we meet again.

So long, Wolffer.
I hope to be back soon!
