While on retreat May 25, 26, 27, 2012 we will be sure to visit our friends at Tin Barn Vineyards (http://www.tinbarnvineyards.com/) for a beautiful wine tasting. What you may not know is that Tin Barn Vineyards is the “fruit of five friends’ passion for the grape. In 2000, Mike Lancaster, Gray Fowler, and Carl Stewart, set out with the goal to produce elegant yet unapologetically full-bodied red wines. In 2006, Kurt Chapman and Bud Johnson joined the partnership. Separated by oceans and continents, they are united–as we all are–by fine wine.” We hope you are inspired to learn more about their story and come with us to enjoy these fine wine’s for yourself!
