Time for a Merlot

Time for a Merlot, originally uploaded by jezza323.

I took this one in the rain, on a nice Sunday spent on a Niagara Wine Tour. The tour was great, it was a small group. We visited 4 wineries, and got an accidental (free) 3 wine tasting at lunch as well!

This shot was taken at the 2nd winery we visited, Reif Estate Winery in Niagara. They had there rows neatly labelled, which compelled me to take a photo. This is a single shot, taken with my Pentax K200D and Tamron 17-50mm f2.8 lens at 50mm and f3.5

As you can see it was early spring and the vines were just starting to shoot for the new season. I am looking forward to going back to the Niagara On The Lake area, maybe on a bicycle and having more of a look around.

Peregrine Winery, Gibbston Valley

The old building at the Peregrine Winery, Gibbston Valley, Central Otago, New Zealand.

Highly recommend their wines!

They recently built a new building to house their wine making facilities, its design is based on a Peregrine’s wing. The winery itself got its name after a family of Peregrines which live on the property.

This is a single exposure taken with my Pentax K200D and Sigma 10-20mm f4.0-5.6 and processed using Lightroom 3
