Loxton

We stopped at Imagery, a winery owned by Benzinger, for a picnic lunch next to the bocce court. Next we were off to Loxton - appointment only, since the winemaker himself handles tastings. Chris Loxton is below, explaining that the secret to wine is to grow the best fruit you can and not mess it up along the way. "I'm not a magician!" He lives on the property most of the year, except for a trip back home to Australia in January. One of our favorite memories so far. We bought a bottle of his most excellent syrah and had him sign it for us - we're saving it for our 10th anniversary.
