Yesterday I had the pleasure of lunch at the Hopkins Inn with friends to celebrate a special birthday. Nestled in the Litchfield hills overlooking magnificent lake Waramaug, the Hopkins Inn and Winery is one of the vineyards located along the Connecticut wine trail. After a lovely drive around the lake and stops at some sentimental spots, we enjoyed a leisurely lunch on the terrace overlooking the lake. Great food...great friends...life is good!
