Looks like you had a good time at the Biltmore?

How much wine did you get?

 

[Mr. H.]

Just an FYI for those not familiar, here's the Biltmore.
Really cool place to visit.

we got one bottle..am got 2 bottles.....the wine tends to be very sweet...and we made the mistake of hitting the wine tasting after the house had closed....in all fairness...we had just had a hard frost ...so the gardens were not peaking...tulips looked rough lol

we crashed at the conservatory cafe...who knew that you could get mixed drinks, beer and wine behind the conservatory? i had caught up with husband ...we grabbed a table and called the others.....with 'we got mixed drinks'......everyone regrouped

 

[Mr. H.]

Have they opened the upstairs living quarters to the tour?

 

[strollingbones]

i think the whole damn place is open to the public now lol.....it seems like i walked miles

 

[Mr. H.]

Cool. Been wanting to take wife/daughter there for years. Hopefully this summer.

I livedfor a year in Hendersonville, North Carolina, right down the road from there. Been there several times. It's a cool place.

When I lived in NC, I wanted to visit in the spring to see the gardens...but we always ended up there in December to enjoy all of the holiday decorations. Such a magnificent example of the Gilded Age.

That was probably magnificent.
