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. 11/01/06

Again
it is that time...to
smile about the results of the State Fair in Little
Rock.

results of the competition. I have a rather large smile this

of which there are seven at present.

problems of the world. How
about a dry red to start…To
us.
