Keipersol Estate Date! (slide show too)

James and I went on a date last weekend! (Thanks MeMa & Gramps for babysitting!!) It was wonderful! For those of you haven't been to Keipersol Estates yet we highly recomend it! It's in Bullard (between Jacksonville & Tyler). They have a winery, restaurant, and a Bed & Breakfast. The B&B has 5 rooms. Ours was beautiful, luxurious, and so comfortable! We had doors leading to a screened in porch complete with a hot tub. James made dinner reservations too. So we got there and got all dressed up for dinner. They have a dress code that is just no t-shirts, tennis shoes, or ball caps... but we went above and beyond that and got all dressed up! I love having a reason to dress up and see James in a suit! Dinner was fabulous... crusty bread slices with olive tapenade (sp??), crab cakes on jicima slaw with remoulaude sauce as an appetizer. James had a ceasar salad. I had the house salad that was to die for! Mixed baby greens with balsamic vinagrette, crumbled goat cheese, dried cranberries, and spiced toasted pecans. James' entree was chilean sea bass crusted with crab, asparagus with a white wine & butter sauce, and garlic mashed potatoes. I had a filet mignon and half of a twice baked potato. We both sampled each others meals and ...well, I definitely want to go back! Both meals were scrumptious. I have had a hard time liking what I've eaten since then! We also each had a glass of wine with our dinner... I can't remember what they were but it was really good. Keipersol has a huge list of Texas wines but we opted to drink some that are actually from Keipersol. Then there was dessert..... A godiva chocolate cake (the kind where the chocolate is melted in the center) with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream and a capuccino. Needless to say.... we really enjoyed ourselves! The service was excellent too. After dinner we spent the rest of the night soaking in the hot tub. When breakfast time came we went back out to the restaurant. I just had the traditional breakfast of two eggs, toast, bacon, and fruit. James, on the other hand, had Eggs Benedict over sliced filet mignon and diced potatos. Afterwards we took a drive around the estate to see the where the winery and vines were. It's beautiful out there.. and if you are rich enough you can build a house there too. Ha ha! We plan on going back in the future to have the wine tour and tasting (complete with horse drawn carriage ride)....maybe for our anniversary!
