PresbyGirl - you would be AWESOME to go wine tasting with.

Senda, If you can, take a day trip to Healdsburg. They have a fun town and lots of good tastings there.

I have been to Healdsburg. Beautiful place. Ironically, it was to go biking with my old fundy singles group. I biked like 12 miles that day, it was awesome. We went to Healdsburg because 2 of our directors lived there. There was definitely no wine. Tongue

I love going to vineyards and doing a wine tasting. I enjoy learning about the wines, meeting the wine makers and finding out what they pair with the wine. My favorite place is Chrysalis in northern Virginia. The setting was gorgeous, the wine tasty, and it was the perfect place for a picnic.

I just found that a local strawberry farm is now bottling their own strawberry wine, a little sweet, but very yummy. Plus, I was able to get enough strawberries this week to make a batch of jam for Christmas gifts.

Enjoy, Tiarali. I plan on bringing some Leinie's and maybe some Rhubarb wine to my folks.

For Christmas Eve, my husband got Tom & Jerry's batter. His dad is getting the rum. Yum!!!

Moscato doesn't taste so nice when it's been sitting in the fridge for a month after it was opened. Just saying.

The "Black Swan" Red wine brand from Cali was NASTY stuff...they were out of Starling Castle at the Class 6 last week. Dodgy

It just occurred to me tonight why I like wine so much. Drink was something good Christians don't do, for my family. The only time they ever had a drink was at my dad's 50th wedding anniversary (a little champagne), and to this day they're taken aback whenever my sister and I talk about drinking.

I don't believe this any longer. A few weeks back, I realized that Christ did not come to wipe us of sin to live vanilla lives; he came to give us liberty from the law and deep, joyous freedom - freedom that includes wine. And so, every time I take a sip (bitter though it still is for me), I personally am enjoying my liberty in Christ all over again, anew, and all of the blessings God gives his children.

Ben Franklin is said to have said that beer is proof God loves us. Well, wine is too. Smile

There are different kinds of wine, they all taste different.

I like wine but the sugar jacks me up bad. I think I'm pre-diabetic.
