Notes From the
Vintner
|
Welcome
to our column. We hope that you will return to
learn interesting notes on wine, and related
subjects. Wine is a great gift from God to be used
for the enjoyment of man. It is a food, and should
be treated as such. It is meant to lift up the body
and lighten the soul. 11/1/02

Robert's
Port has done it again! ! !
Best of Show at the Arkansas State Fair for the second year

for Cynthiana, and Peach. We did well at the State Fair this

A very good
showing for the smallest winery in Arkansas. Other wineries
did well, which goes to show the quality of the Arkansas
Wines.
I was in Tyler
Texas the weekend of the State Fair judging. The event was
the First Annual East Texas Amateur Wine Competition of
which I was a judge. The people in Texas do a fine job on
making wine.
More on that
subject next month. Right now I want to enjoy some of the
above wines, and view the list…
There is
nothing wrong with just pride! ! !…To US.
