Uhh.. So thats how they make Wine!

This weekend's steal was a walk down Madison town and a winery !State street is the kind of place you want to roam around with your sweetheart. The warm sunny afternoons or the romantic evenings blend perfectly in the settings.Also the college crowd looked cute enough to be able to want to study there ;)But to top it all off they have The best student cafetaria ever !!! In the summers they have a couple of hard wood tables and chairs along the lake front or you could sit on the steps to the lake with the cool waters lapping up gently on your feet.In the winters, time to hustle up around the cosy fire places with good company.And no one would belive that the guys who play there like pros are still in college... Esp liked the first performance - The lead singer cum guitarist (Yes !! Yes !! finally saw a live performance of a guy who can do both) was A.M.A.Z.I.N.G. Dont know his name but he looked like John Lenon :)

Move over to Sunday and we drove to a Winery close by - Wollersheim Winery. The vines were pruned right now :( so the vineyard looked quite barren. Tasted some awesome wines .. and umm, some not so awesome ones.Bought two of them. :)The educational tour on wine making was not so educational. They would like to keep in their secrets of wine making.. won't they?If you wish to go around October time when they let in the guests through the vineyards and let them crush the grapes with their feet in the barrels. I dont know why but I find that awefully romantic !!But keep the foot crushed grape-vine away from me pls. First Shourya's music and now this student's performace and I really really want to learn music now. Advice anyone?

House on the Rock!

I redeemed myself at ice - skating. Smug face! The guys who were flying past me on the ski slope followed me at a snail's pace, and with quite a few falls, on the skating floor. But yeah, I do need to learn to balance better. Met a professional skater on the ice gliding as if in a fairy tale!

On Sunday our whole group rambled to quite an eclectic place - House on the Rocks. Nestled inbetween a snowy forest the place was a perfect adventure house. You reach the entrance by driving through a narrow pathway adorned with huge pots and fairies and some gargoyles too. Makes you believe they roasted their less favourable guests in pots, froze the beautiful ones to fairies and the hated ones to gargoyles. The rooms inside were weird if I were to be moderate. My favourite one was Streets of Yesterdays. Check out the pic beside. I still can't believe that it was only a room.

My words will fall short to describe the place. Just go and visit the place next time you are in Wisconsin!
