Drippin' Food and Alcohol Tour

Man, we did a Dripping Springs tour of food and alcohol yesterday with CJ and George. If I don't eat or drink for the next three days, it will be perfect. Started with lunch at Salt Lick (in Driftwood), which George had never been to and Cathy hadn't been to in many years. Needless to say... out-of-this-world delicious as always.

Hit Twisted X Brewery next. Their beers were pretty good! Twisted X Lager was my favorite. Debbie Does Drippin' was a very entertaining name, but the least fave in our group. George's son told him to taste the IPAs, and he, like us, learned that he doesn't like IPAs. They are so popular with the twenty-somethings, but yeesh, what the heck. Icky.

Deep Eddy Vodka was insanely crowded, so we skipped it this time.

We went to Argus Cidery next. Jeff really liked their basic cider. The rest of us decided we weren't cider people. Very strong flavors!

Next up- Texas Hill Country Olive Company, one of our regular visits. They do tours now, which is cool! We were late for the tours, but they let us walk around the olive orchard. Blueberry balsamic vinegar is my favorite item there.

We went on to spend some time at Hawk's Shadow Winery, with the most beautiful and expansive Hill Country view ever and a super-cool (literally) wine cellar dug out of the hill. Good wine, too. There were quite a few bachelorette parties everywhere we went. Great idea, and probably far more fun than traipsing around Sixth with plastic penises dangling from your hair.

Then we headed to the Hill Country Galleria, for Amy's Ice Cream. Sat in the outdoor amphitheater to enjoy that. After we walked around the outdoor mall, we headed home to hang out, then went out to dinner. Great day! Just a lot of food and drinks. Whew.
