September 23, 2015. Harper, Texas. The Wine Bar.

On the side of the building was written wine, cigars, bread, olives, cheese.  Ken commented that three out of five should suit him so when we noted the open sign, we went in for lunch.  We were the only patrons.  It turns out that we had stumbled into a wine tasting place.  We sat at a long narrow table and chatted with the two working ladies.  And we inspected their menu.  The place is charming.  Ken had read about the place long ago but as we seldom come to Fredericksburg after dark we had never gone to taste their wine.  They had been in business with the same owner for almost 20 years.  They have a room with a door with leather chairs for drinking and smoking cigars and there was another bigger room with comfortable leather chairs to taste wine and eat snacks.

We chose to dine in the main room at the long narrow table.  We ordered pate, olives, two types of cheese, fruit,  prosuito and bread.   The food was delightful and delicious,  and we have a box to snack on tomorrow.  Our lunch was the highlight of the day.  Ken and I differ on the name but I think it was called Evelyn's.  It was fun and festive and turned an ordinary doctor visit day into an event.  Our life is such that you just never know what is just around the corner.  One thing we know for sure and that is the little wine place is located on San Antonio Road.  Who could forget that.
