Driftwood Vineyards - a photo on Flickriver

Overlooking the vineyard at Driftwood Estate Winery.
Driftwood, TX

I consider Driftwood Vineyards my "home" winery. It is there that my wife and I visit and purchase from more than any other. The wines from owner Gary Elliot are solid across the list. Winner of many awards, Driftwood Vineyards has its roots from California and has a "sister" winery in Paso Robles (literally his sister owns a winery there). Its very convenient to Austin and makes a great second stop after picking up barbeque from the Salt Lick. The winery sits on top of a bluff that overlooks the winery and has excellent views of the Texas Hill Country sunsets. The grounds include picnic tables just waiting for you to sit back and enjoy the sunset with food you bring to accompany a bottle of Gary's Lone Star Cab.

Notes: I mainly worked on this image as a test of the Aperture 3 versus Lightroom 3 image editing capabilities now that Lr3 is released and Ap3 is stable. What I found was a draw; either program can get a good result out of their toolset.
