Is that a red? I had to go to a Sportsman's show last week, & there
was a vendor from E. Washington who has a winery. He only does reds.
After chatting and having a couple of samples, I told him I would come
back & buy one- there weren't many people there, and he was a nice
guy, so I kinda felt like I should. Guess I should have asked the
price before, but...So I spent 27 bucks on a bottle! Yikes! It was
nice, tho!
