Did Saint Clair, who is an Italian saint, like wine? Since she died in 1253, there is absolutely no way of asking her. But her name lives on in Deming, New Mexico. The St. Clair winery is one of Doris' favorite places to visit when she's in New Mexico. After all, you can't be within a 100 miles and not make a special stop for good wine at inexpensive prices.
Okay, it's barely 10 AM and the group is all set for wine tasting (except me.....I picked out a bottle of black cherry soda to sip on). For some reason, I'm always picked as the "DD" or designated driver. Maybe you were thinking delusional dingbat, but you'd be wrong.......
Doris, Don and Sandy check out the beautiful bottles of a sweet dessert wine. We ended up with the bottle that had the Mexican adobe house on it. Right now, it's sitting on our kitchen hutch, empty. It didn't last long on Saturday night after being opened. After all, there were seven of us sipping on it.
Jeff and Erica contemplated the complexities of the wine. They are true connoisseurs of the fermented grape.
They were at one end of the tasting bar while Doris, Don, Jerry and Sandy were at the other. There was room (and enough wine) for everyone. Plates of small snacks are available too if you want to nibble in between tasting wine.
Cheers! Prost! Skal! Salute! Bottoms Up!
