Garlic, garlic, garlic

 

My husband and I visited Maugle Sierra Vineyards this weekend. We had a great time with friends and would highly recommend the wine! Great music, beautiful inside and outside, tables for picnicing inside and outside, and a great variety of wine. 

We also attended the Garlic Festival at The Mystic Village. We really enjoyed the range of garlic options (popcorn, ice cream, grilled cheese, wings, crackers, fries, and so much more)! Inspired by all the garlic, and the excess of tomatoes from our garden, I decided to make Roasted Tomato Sauce.
