Almaden California Burgundy. It’s in a small clear bottle (187 ml). It has a gold screw on cap (unopened). Stamped on the back of the bottle it says ALMADEN PONY and has two men carrying grapes hanging from a rod. On the bottom of the bottle it says Almaden 22 vineyards 81, then 15 next an arrow pointing at the word vineyards next to T-2
A while back, I bought a beautiful iron bottle rack wine bar holder at an auction at a very high end furniture store. I think it is about 2 1/2 to 3 feet in height and about 3 1/2 in length. Its all in black and has beautiful grapes and leaves but all in iron. A glass sits on top of the rack for wine glasses. It just does not match the inside of our NEW house. I was thinking about taking it out side under a wood porch. I will REALLY match the black patio table. I just don’t know if it will rust and wonder if I should pray it with some kind of protection. Any suggestions?

Today I visited a winery about thirty minutes from where I live in Texas. I got the typical tour, saw the vineyards, got a tasting, blah blah, and at the end I purchased a few bottles. But upon going to stick one of them in the fridge, I noticed on the bottle it says "Produced and bottled in California." I’m confused. The winery I went to was just one of many privately owned wineries in the Hill Country around here, and I saw the vineyards themselves and everything…and we’re in Texas. So why do their bottles say "Produced and bottled in California"? I know this is really a question for the winery itself but I’d feel even more stupid calling them to ask them this. Any theories…?
Well, after some thinking, I considered the fact that the wines I got are SPARKLING wines, and are therefore more difficult to produce. I am thinking maybe the GRAPES to make it were grown here in Texas, but the actual fermentation and production of the wine as-is in the bottle was done in California for some reason…at least that sounds like the most likely scenario.

I personally envision a night of hammering down bottle after bottle of nasty wine made from her 2nd rate vineyard’s grapes.
That is of course assuming she doesn’t have a complete mental breakdown when someone tells her she has to give up her Taxpayer funded Jet.
Guess she will be back on the Broomstick for travel now.
The grapes she harvests ,to the press,
collected from her own vineyard.
Have grown for years, her hands alone.
Now in her wooden press, unbarred.
She grew the grapes, their scarlet sage,
and tilled the fertile rich soil.
Waited with faith, her wine to age.
Then gave it to her love, unspoiled.
The wine she shared was sublime,
coveted by thirsty hearts.
She fills his glass, from fruited vine.
then lifts it to his lips, open heart.
nancy good read.
(I’m 18…i haven’t tasted wine once in my life, but i’m curious)
the tastes of different wines seem to always be described by some kind of flavor like a fruit (cranberry, peach, orange etc.) or chocolate, vanilla, and such.
but the wines that are being described aren’t made with any of that…
like this one wine says it has 75% Cinsault, 15% Syrah and 10% Grenache..(or something along those lines) and they’re all grapes! - so how is it the wine has "rasberry" and "cranberry" fruit flavors??
(the fruits aren’t actually used in the wine making process right?)
If often hear it discussed in certain circles that the wine of the Bible was more akin to modern day grape juice than modern wine. (BTW, I have no idea how that could be, since grapes are covered with yeast (that’s the white film on the grape skin) and will ferment as soon as they are picked unless they are pasteurized and refrigerated).
The point of the question is, Noah gets really drunk on wine and passes out naked:
20 And Noah began to be an husbandman, and he planted a vineyard: 21 And he drank of the wine, and was drunken; and he was uncovered within his tent.
22 And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brethren without. 23 And Shem and Japheth took a garment, and laid it upon both their shoulders, and went backward, and covered the nakedness of their father; and their faces were backward, and they saw not their father’s nakedness.
Yet, somehow, the wine is no longer wine when Jesus arrives on the scene. How is this?
