Another fab. summer getaway planned

And yet again I come up with another getaway for the upcoming summer months. I have a good friend that lives in the Berkshires, and we were trying to come up with something to do out her way. Well, a few years back(more like 10), I went on a bus trip with my family up to the Hudson Valley area in New York. We went on the Shawangunk Wine Trail and concluded our trip at the Gasho Japanese Steak House. I had soooo much fun and realized I need to do this again..but this time I need to drive it so we can hit more wineries. The wineries out there are gorgeous, and the one I do remember, Brotherhood Winery, has this unbelievable spiced wine that you heat up on the stove..works wonders on cold winter nights, or if you have a bad cold..clears it right up! The Gasho restaurant is a really fun Japanese restaurant that has the serving style of Sakura Tokyo or Osaka, but way nicer and way more entertaining. The building is a replica of an old Japanese farmhouse and they have some beautiful gardens to walk around in. So, come the end of June, we'll be wine trailing and Japanese gardening! I really can't wait! June is right around the corner! Here's some sights from our upcoming trip:
