Weekend Happenings at the Winery! Prime Rib Dinner Tonight!

I wanted to acknowledge Marcel, Julie, and the fabulous staff at Aspen Peak Cellars. Not only did they help promote the Barefoot, Bluegrass, & BBQ Festival by displaying posters and putting small stuffers on their tables, sell tickets for us and give part of the cost back to JOY International, but they were wonderful this weekend to my family as we stayed at the bed & breakfast (knowing I had to work late both Friday and Saturday, plus be at Beaver Ranch waaaayyy early Saturday morning, I booked a room for the weekend). The room was cozy, roomy enough for all 4 of us, and had an awesome jetted tub/shower (couldn't get the kids out of there Friday night!). With the room came a complimentary bottle of wine, and their to-die-for breakfast (which we unfortunately had to miss Saturday morning b/c I had to be out before they started serving, then hubby had to go buy me a new tent after mine got totalled overnight at the park). And they provide free wi-fi to their guests, which always scores bonus points for me!

I had their French toast this morning, and they add vanilla and cinnamon to the egg batter, then serve it with fresh cream and strawberries, a side of fresh fruit (which include cherries!), and 3 slices of yummy bacon. It was the best French Toast I've ever had - not too thick or thin, not soggy, I could taste the cinnamon and vanilla, and the cream and strawberries were sweet enough to not need syrup. Hubby had the crab eggs benedict and ate every last bite. They offered my munchkins hot chocolate, even though it isn't on the menu, and provided spot-in service.

Thank you to all the staff there for making our stay an enjoyable one. If you have any friends or family coming into town and they need a place to stay, tell them to go there! My only complaint is that they don't stay open late enough for dinner for those of us who work til we drop.
