And while you were here, I totally wouldn't guilt you into visiting me, too.

Have you two been collaborating down there or what?
All i heard the whole time he was here was "we're not coming back here again until someone comes down to visit us".
Although our mother goes down to visit several times a year so...apparently that doesn't count.

Recently had

Cave Spring Chardonnay Musque. Excellent!

Calamus Estate Pinot Gris and 2011 Sparkling.

Also did a quick tasting at a distiller in Prince Edward County not too long ago. The pine vodka was quite interesting. Would make for an excellent vodka tonic. I tried some spirit called Shochu?? which was very, very tasty. To finish off I tried their gin which was very different that I didn't like all that much. In fact I haven't liked any of the "craft" distiller gins I have tried.


I’m armed and I’m drinking. You don’t want to listen to advice from me, amigo.

It wasn't really bad....(though all the things I posted were true). For whatever reason, I just thought it would be funny to hijack the wine thread into the whine thread.

I was very tired! smile

Haven't done much on the wine front lately. In a re-building stage as the cellar stock is rather low.
This however, is a stellar bottle. Sadly $40 in MB but only $30 in ON.

A great buy and great cellaring.

Hmmm, let me know if the double guilt trip yields results. I'm always looking for a reason to visit my grandchildren in DC. I'm guessing Ken and JP could rally for an evening. Oh yeah - this could work.

Every time I'm there, I just feel the urge to pee constantly.

Yeah, well, when you get to be my age, a drinking fountain can do that. (Just thought you'd like to have something to look forward to grin)
