I spent the afternoon with my dau yesterday and we started talking about wine. I told her about the Finger Lakes wine makers that you recommended, Peaceandjoy, and we decided that we're going to order some of their wines to try them out. However, we're going to wait until next spring, because it's too hot to ship them right now. She was excited to try them! My dau also mentioned that one of the hot, new wines in our area is Grüner Veltiner, a crisp, white wine that is from Austria. They're starting to plant it here and I'll bet that it would do well in your area too.
