Now HERE Are Some Reasons to Be Thankful …
My oh my, are some of the local wine-tasting folks breaking out the good stuff for our holiday weekend! Note especially the 1998 Ch. Mouton Rothschild Saturday at DLM Springboro. Zounds! But bring your wallet …
The following tastings list comes courtesy of a local wine listserv, for which, I can assure you, I am most, MOST thankful.
Did you miss the …
… Organic Wines “Uncorked” comment from the veteran organic winemaker from California? Check it out, just below the Thanksgiving wines entry.
I’ll be without computer access for the next 48 hours, so any comments you post will be delayed in appearing on this site. Otherwise, enjoy, enjoy, enjoy, and we’ll catch up to you this weekend.
Cheers!
Mark Fisher
