My wife purchased a bottle of the Starling Castle Riesling after I told her about it. She said it was fairly undesirable and there is much better local wines available. I am not a wino but after the lake is over we hit the wineries on the weekends so I get to taste a lot of wine but I still like the cheese better. My wife on the other hand loves to go to wine tastings. I trust her judgement.
It amazes me that a person that is constantly talking about a globalist economy, and Jo Ann Emerson causing local jobs to go overseas would buy a German wine when there is quality wine locally around the same price. What about the jobs that are being lost because of your promotion of a foreign wine?
Oh... I guess that is different.

After what happen in Tuesday's primaries, nothing is unbelieveable or impossible.

Done that. Mad Dog or Wild Irish Rose takes the cake though.
Lemme was posting last night. I thought he would defend his wine.

Von Jakob (Alto Pass) has some very tasty wines. Nice outdoor deck at the winery too.

We Regret,
if there was only 1 wine that was good to everyone (or 1 of any product) we wouldn't really have a marketable economy now would we? It is like a pizza debate some hate Papa johns others swear by it, same can be said for the rest. It doesn't make any worse than the others because of 1 persons opinion.

Particularly, Rant, if one doesn't like pizza in the first place, regardless of the moniker..

Doesn't JoAnn Emerson also drive a Honda Pilot?

Vulcan, It is all pretty mixed up these days. Last time I looked, a Honda road bike had more parts made in America by American owned companies than a Harley.
I am reminded of an uncle that wouldn't buy anything but Chrysler built vehicles because he thought the others were controlled by a certian ethnic group he thought was out to dominate the economy. I wonder if still alive today he would think that way.
