Biltmore Century Red and Century White

One year ago this week, my husband, Mikkel, 19 year old cat,Katundra, and I packed a large 26’ moving truck with car carrier in tow, loadedmy car with dozens of bottles of wines and headed north to begin a new life in NE Georgia. It’s no secret moving is stressful but whenyou couple that with the sale of a home, a change in states and no idea whereour new home would be, it’s a sheer nightmare. By the end of our two day tripwe referred to the evil truck and car carrier as Boris and Natasha.

We had a contract on a house on three wooded acres withintwo days of arriving and moved in over Labor Day weekend. The next big changecame with the passing of Katundra. Soon after we added seven new members to ourlittle country family.
We love living in the country and giving up the subdivisionmentality. Gone are the days of mowing the lawn every weekend, watering,fertilizing and fretting over brown spots. Instead we spend our time moving thechicken run, tending vegetables, fruit and nut trees and plotting new gardens. Anotherthing we love, it no longer takes six hours just to get to another state.
We’ll soon be heading to Asheville, NC,home of the Biltmore Estate. Sadly we’ll only be there for a weekend so wewon’t have time to visit the great estate or winery on this visit but I canstill take in the flavors and aromas produced by the winery. Biltmore Century Red and Century White.
