Enjoying a Bella Bella tonight.

[Aristus]

Gin (tonight, Hendricks White -excellent!), Campari, Grand Marnier, limoncello, and orange juice. As usual, with no Campari in the house, I substituted Aperol. Yummy!

Hope everyone is having a good weekend…

1. Yummy indeed. And having a good weekend. Friends just bought

our local Farmers' Market, and they also own a winery. I got to taste some of their latest efforts today. Ended up with a strawberry/rhubarb dessert wine. No wasted, tasteless crust! I love all their wines, but get a kick out of their dessert wines, especially their peach. .from their own orchards in Palisade (some of the BEST peaches!!! ). Wine connoisseurs might blanch, but I have fun!

2. Someday, you should try a Washington loganberry dessert wine.

Very sweet. I mean, no more than a thimble-full at a time sweet. But very good.

NTITAI, I may have made that suggestion before. We’ve talked so much, and I was so sloshed through much of it…

3. You might have, but there is nothing wrong with a reminder! Much

appreciated!

4. Any time.

5. Hmm, this might prove difficult. I just called the four largest liquor

stores here, and none of them carry any. One did say they could try to order for me. I have one more place to call, not my favourite merchant, but he does come through sometimes!

6. Even in Washington State, they can be hard to come by.

Sometimes, you have to go to the winery itself to get a bottle.

7. I found several wineries listed that suposedly carried it, but their

webbsites were a total mess!
