Into the Vineyard was focused on getting you to actually go and plan a trip to visit a winery. idk, if I were travelling somewhere, there would def need to be music involved.</p> <p>anyway, this was one of my favourite wines from last night. Vino Cacao, chocolate wine. in white <em>and</em> red. maybe a little too sweet, but still sooo yummy! it’d make a perfect gift. take notes!</p>http://valenofficial.com/post/23784542364http://valenofficial.com/post/23784542364Fri, 25 May 2012 23:57:00 -0700<iframe width="400" height="225" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/3nrSaR7_8a4?wmode=transparent&autohide=1&egm=0&hd=1&iv_load_policy=3&modestbranding=1&rel=0&showinfo=0&showsearch=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br/><br/><p>I love this cast! 19 days until the Season 1 DVD comes out!
