Default Nikki Sue Nikon goes to Wolf Mountain
This past weekend the wife and I went to the Blue Ridge Mountains in North GA to celebrate our anniversary. First stop was lunch at Wolf Mountain Vineyards In Dahlonega, GA. Of course, Nikki Sue came along to record the event.

A marvelous Claret against a stunning backdrop. Life doesn't get any better:

2009 Could be a very good year!

Beautiful shots Mike, I've been around the world and nothing matches the beauty of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Of course I am sort of biased. Congratulations on your anniversary, looks like you both had a wonderful time.

We did have a wonderful time and it's a shame that the mountains are so close to us and I've not visited them as much as I should have in recent years.

I have Nikki Sue and she has her shoes and purses, so we each have our own emotional affairs....

Thanks so much, we did enjoy our stay. There are a lot of small wineries that have been started in recent years in the mountains, with several excellent wines as a result.

Well it's kind of hard to take bad landscape pictures when you're dealing with a location such as this. Wonderful pictures... and a special thanks to your wife for allowing you to bring your "mistress" along with you.

If it's any consulation, my wife says I'm having two affairs... one with my telescope and one with my camera.
