I've moved into the darker atmosphere now (from the animal-dominated labels of my youth). There's one called Phantom from Bogle that I love, and believe it or not, Dave Matthews is making great wine under the label Dreaming Tree... Aw, heck.

My husband's uncle is a connoisseur - sniffs the cork and all that and has the pockets to buy what he wants but also finds inexpensive wines. Cabernet savignon is definitely my favorite but it's not something I enjoyed right away. My grandfather use to make is own wine -he was Sicilian. Unfortunately he passed not long after I came of age but I'm sure I would have enjoyed it now.catsladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06375770995988927860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4542417548623715196.post-47997932446379477942011-07-19T10:37:28.261-05:002011-07-19T10:37:28.261-05:00Sandy,

My favorite winery in NY is the Three Brother's Winery. They have three separate winery's on the property. You get the snobbish Stoney Lonesomes (which are still fairly good priced, under $20ish per bottle), but then you get the other two, which are way more fun, the Bagg Dare- with titles like Well Hung, Poor Limp Richard's and Ride'er All Night; and the Passion Feet- with titles like Backseat Bounce, Flirtation and Scandelicious! (all around $15). They also happen to have a brewery on site too, which my husband really liked. They had a very unique Riesling Ale, which he thought was very good. It's probably a good thing I live in Nevada now, since they can't ship here. I would buy from then all the time! :)Sarah S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08535370074125960268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4542417548623715196.post-79901509633887266292011-07-19T10:00:54.525-05:002011-07-19T10:00:54.525-05:00Hi Meb,

My husband and I had an argument and he refused to drink with me. So, I drank by myself. Since I usually don't drink, he was surprised that I drink the ENTIRE bottle. He asked, "Are you buzzing?"<br /><br />I thought the question was silly and began to buzz like a bee. I "buzzed" for an hour. He finally started laughing and Valentine's Day ended well...I think.<br /><br />Moral of the story?
