Jug Wine
Just a deck of cards and a jug of wine
And a woman's lies make a life like mine
-- Hank Williams, Lost Highway
We recently made a trek out to Napa to visit the Wine Garage in Calistoga.
The wine garage is noted for seeking out and personally visiting small wineries throughout California, tasting each wine, and negotiating a price directly with the vintner. The result: superb wines for great prices.
They also have their own line of wines, including a couple of jug wines, which are pretty tasty. We liked the jug wine Bordeaux blend.
They have a "filling station" where they fill up the jugs.
They put on a label,
and voila!
After all the excitement at the Wine Garage, we headed down the road to see a friend of ours who pours at Monticello Vineyards,
played some tic tac toe,
and saw the Oreo cows.
Another successful trip to wine country!
