St. Clair! What A Fun Place To Spend a Sunday Afternoon!

Hi, everybody! Joe and a friend of his, Camille, took us to the St. Clair Winery and Bistro on Sunday afternoon. It is located up in Old Mesilla in Las Cruces. The day turned out to be a gorgeous one. It wasn't too hot or humid. Joe drove us, and Ellen and Sharon got to sit in the back seat for a change.



The picture above shows the sign at the entrance to the winery. The picture below is of Joe and his mom, Ellen. They really aren't laughing hysterically or anything, but it was funny to see Joe trying to hold his eyes open while looking into the sun. We all know that Ellen's eyes never open when the camera comes out. (Hee, hee!)

The picture below shows one of the dining rooms in the bistro. Before dinner we sat at the bar and did their wine tasting. It is always fun to try different wines without having to buy the whole bottle. We loved their Chardonnay and the Chenin Blanc!




This next picture is of the fountain outdoors on the patio. Notice all of the corks!


This last picture shows Ellen, Joe, and Camille standing outside on the patio. We had already had dinner. Oh, my, it was delicious! The plates were huge, and we brought home at least half of it. We had a wonderful time. It is definitely on the list of places to visit again.


Thanks, Joe, for taking us to a place we had never gone before. We can't wait to go again! Until next time. . . . . . . ....
