Corn-husker State Wine Adventure.

While visiting KS, we decided to take a short trip to Parks, NE - home of Sage Hill Vineyard and Winery, which is a quaint, family-owned vineyard situated on 17-acres of pasture.  Our sommelier, Carol, was a charming hostess.  She owns the vineyard with her husband, Hal.  All of their wines are varietal, meaning each of them are made from a single grape variety.  Their wine list consists of whites, reds and specialties.  Riesling and Gewürztraminer-lovers will love the white wines, while fans of pinots and merlots will definitely appreciate the reds - Kale's favorite was "the big dog."  If you ask for it, they will know what you mean:)  We tasted 6 wines for only $5, and got to keep the wine glasses as a souvenir!

For those of you desiring a longer stay, Sage Hill offers a loft for around $90 the first night, which includes a bottle of wine, and around $80 for following nights.  They also can hook you up with kayak rentals, and other fun daytime activities.

When we return to the states we might volunteer to do some work for wine:)  See pics below...
