August 29, 2010

Why We Moved Here Reason #1

1337. Apparently there’s some nerd joke about that [says Matt]. But that’s how many miles we covered today. ~5 biking to our starting point, followed by 4 swift miles on a GREENWAY! Paved, scenic – perfect!

Getting off of my bike was hard – total brick moment. But before I knew it we were running fast miles and they didn’t even feel fast. Hello FLATness!

  • 8:28
  • 8:36
  • 8:25
  • 8:20

By the end I was flying and dying.

Biked back home and my gosh my legs are tired!! 1:38 total exercise minutes.

IMG_1698 (640x427) (2)

Enter lunch.

IMG_1711 (640x427) (2)

Matt made us egg + tomato sandwiches on GH bread

IMG_1706 (640x427) (2)

A poked egg

IMG_1707 (640x427) (2)

And I made smoothies! The best cure for endurance events (and this qualified as one! I felt like I’d ran 10 miles!)

IMG_1709 (640x427) (2)

Smoothies contained unmeasured amounts of:

  • Kale
  • Ice
  • Milk
  • Banana
  • Frozen cherries
  • Nectarine
  • Vega Chocolate Powder

and they tasted like chocolate milk!

IMG_1710 (640x427) (2)

IMG_1703 (640x427) (2)

And then we set out on our afternoon adventure.

IMG_1806 (640x427) (2)

Why we moved here reason #1: vineyards just a few miles from the center of town. And really awesome vineyards. Virginia countryside is the closest I’ve found to Sonoma on the East Coast. Eden.

IMG_1737 (640x427) (2) IMG_1727 (640x427) (2) IMG_1726 (640x427) (2) IMG_1738 (640x427) (2) IMG_1728 (640x427)

Our first stop was Blenheim Vineyards

IMG_1725 (640x427) (2)

A.K.A. the Dave Matthews vineyards! He illustrated this former wine label!

IMG_1729 (640x427) IMG_1730 (640x427) IMG_1712 (640x427) (2) 

We liked the whites…which were light summer wines

IMG_1718 (640x427) (2)

And reds! Which were spicy and also light bodied

IMG_1722 (640x427) IMG_1723 (640x427) (2) IMG_1720 (640x427) (2)

And oyster crackers, which were buttery and delicious

IMG_1719 (640x427) (2)

Next on our tour…Kluge Estate

IMG_1741 (640x427) (2)

We had the choice between two flights…

IMG_1742 (640x427)

And a GORGEOUS setting

IMG_1785 (640x427) (2)

IMG_1779 (640x427) (2)

IMG_1756 (640x427) (2)

IMG_1746 (640x427) (2)

So of course we had to try them all. The first flight were Albemarle wines…the second were sparkling and reserve wines.

IMG_1748 (640x427) (2)

IMG_1743 (640x427)

What does Matt think of the pink Rose?

IMG_1762 (640x427) (2) IMG_1763 (640x427) (2)‘IMG_1764 (640x427) (2) IMG_1766 (640x427)

Thumbs up!

IMG_1767 (640x427)

I enjoyed the Simple Red flight of 2002, 2004, 2006

IMG_1768 (640x427) (2)

But preferred the 2004 most of all

IMG_1770 (640x427) (2) 

In the reserve tasting, I picked out a VERY prominent cheese in the Kluge Estate New World 2002…

WHAT IS IT? I asked

IMG_1774 (640x427) (2) 

IMG_1773 (640x427)

HE GUESSED RIGHT!!

BRIE. Spot on.

Yummy.

We enjoyed great conversation under the trees at Kluge. It was a near-perfect Sunday afternoon!

IMG_1754 (640x427) (2) IMG_1753 (640x427) (2) IMG_1792 (640x427) (2)IMG_1793 (640x427)

Purple teeth shot!

IMG_1777 (640x427) (2) 

Flashback to honeymooning in Sonoma!! –>

n14700542_30395983_1518

This place is just gorgeous

IMG_1797 (640x427) IMG_1798 (640x427) (2) IMG_1796 (640x427) (2) IMG_1805 (640x427)

Last stop was Jefferson Vineyards

IMG_1807 (640x427) (2)

What we’re lacking in photos, we gained in flavor – definitely the most "us" wines of the day – full-bodied and fruity-inky

IMG_1809 (640x427)

IMG_1810 (640x427) (2)

We came home with 3 bottles for our EMPTY wine rack – the Rose, the 2009 Chardonnay and the Meritage

IMG_1812 (640x427)

Upon arriving home, we threw together a simple dinner

IMG_1821 (640x427) (2)

IMG_1820 (640x427) (2)

Roasted eggplant and tomatoes tossed in garlic gold, pepper and salt (notice how garlic gold is such a household staple it’s now lowercase!)

IMG_1814 (640x427) (2)

Tossed with whole wheat pasta, parmesan, balsamic and basil.

IMG_1822 (640x427) (2)

Simple, filling.

IMG_1818 (640x427) (2)

IMG_1817 (640x427) (2)

Matt just fed me a chocolate and now we’re going to possibly watch another movie – Netflix online!

    I love Charlottesville! I grew up in Richmond and went to school at UVA. I took a vineyard tour in a limo for my bachlorette weekend. It was amazing. My favorite was the Jefferson Vineyard and I had 4 bottles sent down to Florida so I could remember the smells and flavors of Virginia.

    1:38 was my time for my duathlon (21 mile bike, 2.6ish mile run) this summer – definitely an endurace event! And great fun. 🙂

    I am very envious of your laidback weekend, since my life is completely chaotic right at the moment. I wish my husband and I had spent more time together (like you and Matt did today) before we had kids! You are wise to enjoy the time now, before the craziness starts with the bakery and your other future endeavors!

    Do you have any posts about fueling up for a workout? I feel like maybe I eat too much, I eat a piece of bread w/ pb before a run and eat either a sandwich or another salad or yogurt or smoothie. I feel like I eat way more than you but only run a max of 4 miles (as of right now).

    Reply

      I haven’t done any fueling because it’s so different for each person. My best advice is to listen to your hunger and balance food groups to get a little of everything in at meals.

    I would love to try a Rose wine. It seems perfect for summer.

    If I knew the pay off would be a relaxing day in the vineyards, I might be encouraged to run/bike for an hour and a half too. What a pleasant day you two planned for yourselves. Enjoy!

    Oh wow, I love this post. Not only are the photos beautiful but they remind me of some fabulous memories. Before we moved to China, my husband and I spent a lot of time in Charlottesville, Chris went to UVA and his Dad lives there now (does a lot of yoga too, I should ask for his recommendations). Before our wedding last year, we all went wine tasting in Charlottesville to buy wines for our small wedding. We bought several amazing bottles from Jefferson’s for our wedding dinner along with Champagne from Kluge’s. They even gave us exactly the right number of those fun plastic cones for our champagne toasts! Seeing your photos brings back such wonderful memories of both wine-tasting and our wedding. Sorry for the long comment but thank you so much for this post! It means a lot to the homesick away from home 🙂

    Jefferson Vineyards was one of my favorites. Later in the fall, if you take a trip out to Wintergreen Winery in the fall, they mull their apple wine. It’s amazing and perfect on a chilly fall afternoon.

    YOUR MAN DOES THE EYEBROW THING! That is crazy sexy and it is the ONE thing mine can’t do. You lucky girl!

    Oh yeah, wine. That looks delish too ;P and I love those shots of the countryside! The closest we get to that here is abandoned Scuppernong rows deep in the forest.

    you have to go to Veritas Vineyard in Afton on the way to Wintergreen. It’s the most gorgous of all the surrounding vineyards! And Matt would love Blue Mountain Brewery 🙂

    I love the Virginia countryside. 🙂 My dad’s side of the family is from Roanoke and I swear I have bluegrass in my blood.

    You will have to hit up Barboursville at some point! It’s on a gorgeous piece of land with a quaint inn and an award winning restaurant.

    Hello Kath, I found Open Sky from the owners interview on Bloomberg the other day. Infinity Greens is a rapidly growing high end food line of Blue Green Algae based super foods that are design to provide all the nutrients your body requires while cleansing at the same time. Our base line product is our Blue Green Algae based super food that was formulated by Billy Merritt who is the resident nutritionist at the world famous Ashram in Topanga, CA. After five years, from the shear demand from clients coming from all over the world for nutritional and spiritual healing, Infinity Greens has grown to become a respectable small business with a high personal touch from Billy Merritt to his client base. We would like experiment and duplicate our current distribution efforts with you and your www.kathEats.com website with Open Sky. Please visit our website www.infinitygreens.com. You will notice some testimonials from our clients, including CINDY CRAWFORD, who met Billy Merritt at the Ashram several years ago and now has been taking the Infinity Greens product for years. Please call to discuss our distribution relationship with you. We are intending to keep our food line in a “High Touch” distribution method like Kath Eats and support you with talk show style online radio broadcast for you to promote within your network and promote that on a regular basis through your/Infinity Greens news letter. I can also be reached at 213-700-4130. Let’s talk soon!

    Just browsing your Cville section and had to comment on Kluge. Did you know that it was just bought by Donald Trump? He is still debating whether to keep the vineyard around, last I heard it was still a go!
