Mike, There were some really nice wines and then......how do I put it...... there were others. One thing I really looked forward to was trying the Nortons. I did not find a Norton that I liked

People will think we were crazy, but we only went to one showDixie StampedeAfter last year and untill July of this year things had been rather stressful. We basically went for a change in scenery and to kick back and relax.

I DO CLEAN UP RATHER GOOD!!!!!!!!

We call those others "steak marinade" or "cooking wine"....

Those are what that spit bucket is for!

I just call them fertilizer!

Pepper wines and meads are great for sipping when the weather turns cooler. Notice I did not say cold - I live in Florida and cold is just wrong.

And last year doesn't count, it was just wrong!

I thought you said a few wineries? Must of been close to 10 of them. That must have been fun! Did you bring your chair and glass holders to sit and enjoy your wine in? I'm about ready for some kind of vacation................. Maybe I will just sit in the winery and watch them all age like Al does.

Rich I should have, but then again some places had alot of rocks. Might have been kind of hard pushing those sticks in.
