Jared and I walked Miles over to the dog park and tried to encourage him to make some new friends. Things spiraled downhill when he started growling and showing his teeth at every dog that came near him. So embarrassing! We left after 10 minutes, making sure to apologize to the other dog owners for the Demon Dog’s bad behavior!
We grabbed sandwiches at the 570 Market on Tremont Street. I ordered the Farmer’s Wagon: hummus, cucumbers, broccoli, carrots, romaine, tomato, oil and vinegar on Iggy’s 7-Grain. I was craving lots of fresh vegetables so this sandwich was perfect.
We drove 45 minutes to Bolton, MA to visit the Nashoba Valley Winery.
Apple orchards and muddy roadways after last night’s rain
Gorgeous fall day in New England!
Beautiful red apples. Too bad we didn’t do any picking.
Nashoba Valley Winery
Metal bottle holders, each with a unique personality.
Wine tasting! Nashoba Valley Winery uses apples in a lot of their wines. Everything we tasted was really different from the types of wines I normally drink. Unfortunately, nothing was overly impressive. We sampled a lot, but didn’t buy any bottles to bring home.
In front of the vines
Apple BBQ pulled pork sandwich, chips, and a side of macaroni and cheese…the perfect snack for 2 people to share.
We took a tour of the winery and learned a few new things about wine making. I’ve been on tours that teach you about making wine from grapes. Nashoba Valley Winery’s processes use local fruits so there were some new machines for sorting and pressing apples and peaches.
The scenery and weather were absolutely ideal. Even though the wines weren’t my taste, it was still a great afternoon.
We ended the evening with sushi and sports. I ordered Kappa Maki (cucumbers), Idaho Maki (sweet potato tempura), and Beef Gyoza. I have no clue what seafood sushi and sashimi Jared ordered. Our orders were mixed together and I was really nervous I’d end up grabbing a fishy tasting roll.
Now I’ll just watch the Amazing Race, football, and baseball until it’s time for bed. Lazy, lazy Sunday night!

What a perfect day! I’ve never been to Bolton, MA. It looks very pretty. I’m not a big wine drinker, but I would love to visit vineyards and just take in the beauty!
And sushi is just about the perfect ending to any day!
