The Belle Mead Experience | Wine Wednesday

Hi ya Gorgeous, 

Today I share some experience from the Belle Mead historic site and winery. It's a plantation from back in the day that now is a walk through preservation of life in the beginning of the United States. They call it a sanctuary of southern life. It certainly was full of beauty!

 

It's very large, very green, very muggy hot and very awesome! The website says, "
Belle Meade is dedicated to the preservation of Tennessee’s history, architecture, hospitality, and equestrian legacy.".  I agree! My favorite was the rich horse history and how so many winners were sired through Bonnie Scotland! (see photo below)

 

In this Wine Wednesday with a fanology lesson from the Belle Meade historical site and winery in Nashville Tennessee. I do have some footage to share from the grounds and will post in a separate video. 

 

 

 

 

Oh it was so beautiful, so green, and so so muggy hot, hence, the need for a personal fan. That fan has come in handy many a time now that I am back on the West coast. The wine is from a tasting held on site and there were 4 varietals though I only purchased one.

 

 

Below are links to Belle Meade so you can enjoy too! As well as an Amazon affiliate link for a fan to practice fanology for yourself! Thank you for shopping with me as I do get a penny when you use the link!
