The Iron Bridge Wine CompanyA neat place to eat and have a wine flight.There is one in Columbia, Maryland and there is another in
Warrenton, VA. Jack and I went the other week to the one in
Warrenton which is the capitol of
Fauquier County.
Fauquier County is where the rich and famous have country estates to escape to from their D.C. or McLean, VA homes. It is the county that claims as residents Cooks,
Mellons, and yes, the
Salahis. You surely have heard of the
Salahis. This past week they crashed the state dinner at the White House and had photos taken with both Obama and
Biden!
What a wild and reckless event. In my humble opinion some heads connected to the President's security need to roll right out the door and the
Salahis need to be found and put in jail for a month for that silly caper. What's with people today? Every ordinary Joe wants to seek fame and hang out with the powerful folks in D.C. and Hollywood. First, we had Balloon Boy's family stunt that scared everyone witless. Now we have this couple that loves getting attention by crashing a party at the White House. Luckily both events ended with not a tragedy. But the third time may not be so. I'm sure Al
Quida watched the news this week and picked up on how easy it is to enter the White House. Don't scale the fence. Just scale the front door dressed to the nines. And as someone reported in the paper yesterday even though they passed
thru the metal detectors indicating no guns on their persons, they still could have wrecked
havoc at the White House by picking up a dinner knife from a table or by pulling an envelope of anthrax out of their clothing. And as my father would say "They like to live high on the hog." But according to news reports of exfriends and exhired help they don't always pay their bills because they are spending it all on creating their "image".
Now where was I? Oh, yes, The Iron Bridge Wine Company. It is located on Main Street in
Warrenton, just down from the county courthouse building where Jack Kent Cook, the former owner of the Redskins, dissolved a couple of marriages. Now look below.
This place used to be a store so there are tables in the store windows and that's where Jack and I were seated. We had a good view of both the locals and the tourists walking down Main Street on this particular fall day. We even had a mini crystal chandelier to light the table.
This place serves both good food for lunch and good wine. You can do a wine flight that allows you to sample 1 ounce of three different wines. That's what Jack and I did. We did the wine flight that was Everything But Cabernet. So we had a red from Chile plus a California
pinot noir and a
shiraz from Australia. If you like the wine flight, you can purchase
here the same wine in bottles to take home to enjoy. But we didn't do that. Instead we got this. Look below.
We shared a scrumptious bread pudding with two steaming cups of coffee. How decadent!
Isn't that pretty! It tasted very good too.
Hope your Thanksgiving Weekend is going well.
My World Tuesday = The Reston Town Center Parade
Next came Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer
Then came the pretty kitties!
There were big red vehicles like this shiny red firetruck.
There were tiny black vehicles like this Fairfax police car.
There was a Mighty Mouse balloon flying by.
Another balloon rode by with handlers holding the strings.
There went the Scottish bagpipers.
Here came the Mexican bell dancers.
The Irish folk dancers danced a jig on a flatbed truck.
The Bolivian Folk Dancers were dressed for the cold breezy winds coming down the parade route.
There was my little friend again.
