i just got off of the phone with the wine shop down the street and i would have to special order the Montgras (which is fine by me) but there is a minimum necessary order of a case (not fine by me...lol).
what would be the best way of acquiring a bottle without having to purchase a case? maybe check some delaware/nj stores?

Right off the bat I get a sense of surgar cane fields. A wave of sweetness followed by a sharp tickling sensation up near my nose area. wonderful.
The next enticing caramel flavor envelopes my tongue as though it had been wrapped in several miniature down comforters. As this sensation lingers, extacy begins to happen. Tears stream down my face and into my mouth adding to the nuance that is Dr. Pepper.
Finally, as the last drips of nectar stream from the bottle, I yearn for more as the smell stays with me since I usually spill some on my shirt.
It's not for everyone and some say it's an aquired taste. But if your budget allows, please indulge at least once in your life.
Been there, not bad at all. Typically buy NY or NC US wines though bulk. Requires a road trip of course, since the PLCB here has to extort everything shipped.Mad City Mike wrote:You might try Stone Villa Wine Cellars. We went there over Thanksgiving and brought back half a case. While they don't grow many of their own grapes, they do have a wide range from sweet to dry. I am much more a dry fan, and I found several that were pretty good. My in-laws like sweeter wines, and they found several, too. They do have tastings so you can try to decide which ones you like best.

I'm still a newb, but i'm learning (with my ultimate introduction to wine book in pocket) and it would be interesting to here about some good local (PA) wineries. This thread is for the wine folk. While I quite thoroughly enjoy beer, I'm really enjoying the culture and environment of the wine community so far.

The Holiday 2007 Coca-Cola Classic has turned out quite nicely. Be sure to let it breathe a bit though.

Anyone who says they don't enjoy boxed wine is a liar and cannot be trusted
