Oh hpw funny is that. Those names would be a riot.
There is that Glen and Ellen brand. I have a sister named Ellen and her ex hubby is Glen. I used to tease them saying thats their wine.
Do any of you drink the 2 buck chuck from Trader Joes. They say eventually that well will run dry and it will be no more, just had an excess selling for cheap. I don't like much besides zinfindel's house wines and reislings.(sp)
That was good, Kitty!! I like Ollive Garden's wines. I'm more of a blush or white wine drinker. I also like some of the cheap stuff, Ballatore sparkling Gran Spumante, and Andre Sparkling Gran Spumante. Those two are my faves. I also like Martini and Rossi Gran Spumante. I love those sparkling wines!! There's a small winery about 7 miles away from here, called the Little Swan Lake Winery. They make some AWESOME wines. They don't have that "factory-made" taste either. They have a semi-sweet riesling that Brad and I just LOVE.
