What goes good with wine: SNOW BUNNY
I
ventured off to my first wine tasting this weekend after turning the
infamous 21. Following the Russian river in search of great pinots, we
passed by redwood trees, sunbathers and lots of tie-dye. Our first stop
was Arista winery, which presented us with a smooth pinot. Then, it was
Rochioli. Last week I drank one of their pinots that was quite good,
but this one was lack luster. Our last winery was De La Montanya, while
unimpressive at first; one by the name of Sybil was quite the
seductress.
So what do you do after a long day of wine tasting in 104 degree whether?
GO
GET SOME SNOW BUNNY! While the name is fitting for the hot conditions
(wouldn’t we all love a soft but cold bunny to hold), this frozen
yogurt stand is a well-appreciated treat.
Yeah, it puts Pink Berry
to shame. But that’s what you would expect when it is made with
delicious Strauss organic yogurt. It is creamy, refreshing yet quite
light. Plus snow bunnies line the walls painted in bathtubs and on ski
slopes.
The chocolate wasn’t too intense but wasn’t lacking in
flavor like Mr. Softee (not that there is anything wrong with the
beloved ice cream truck).
They have a weekly special flavor; last
week, it was coconut. Seems fitting since I just made a coconut cake.
But I opted for chocolate with raspberry sauce. But I asked to taste
everything. I mean, wouldn’t you?
Now, I know Healdsburg is a bit
out of the way, but you can make a day out of it. Picnic at the Russian
river, hit a few wineries, visit Downtown Bakery in Healdsburg, the one
in Ferry Market that makes the scrumptious donut muffin (a muffin that
is very tender with cinnamon sugar topping) and then indulge in some
frozen yogurt. Yogurt doesn’t have to be the main attraction, but it
can be the cherry on top!
