Ricky and I LOVE visitors so we were very excited with our pals, Richard and Alicia decided to visit us in San Antonio. Neither Richard nor Alicia had ever been to Texas so I was looking forward to showing them what San Antonio has to offer. We visited the usual hot spots: The Alamo and the Riverwalk. We also took at trip to Winery on the Gruene in Gruene, Texas. (WineryOnTheGruene) A German settlement, Gruene is known for its wine and German cuisine. They also have great tubing on the Guadalupe River in the summer. The winery features a great variety of white and red wines. I never drink sweet wine but I LOVED their Orange Chocolate Port Wine. It's the perfect taste of sweetness after a good meal; although I could never drink an entire glass. We hoped to have lunch at the Gruene Door restaurant but it closed early on Sunday:( Instead, we went to the Gristmill which sits on a picturesque hillside on the Guadalupe River. Our food was excellent and we were not disappointed. If you ever visit, I recommend their onion rings--big and tasty! Alicia and I took in an afternoon at the JW Marriott Resort Lantana Spa. The beautiful grounds and serene environment made for a lovely afternoon. We were able to take in a Spurs game on Wednesday night (Spurs vs. the Milwalkee Bucks where the Spurs won!) and a trip to the Flying Saucer. We ended their trip with an amazing breakfast at Magnolia Pancake Haus! We loved hosting the Kinzers and can't wait for them to return.
