A hootenanny of pinkos, environuts, peaceniks, Luddites, old hippies, Robin Hoods and urban hunters and gatherers. My kind of crowd!

Home-made (including the chicken!) chicken pot pie tonight with a Viognier to go with the buttery crust! Veggies are from the garden too!

Rain & wind today..not typical April weather. Good for my hay crop, but it'll only make weeds grow in vyd.

[Pipestone Vineyards @PipestoneWinery]

Rain this week...ugh, it will just make the weeds grow. And will it blow out and get cold after the storm?

Cheap Chinese wine bottles or American jobs? Do the customers care? I'd like to know..but it's my inclination to stick with Made in the USA!
