March Thoughts

1st:  Saint Croix Vineyards - http://www.scvwines.com/
     "Vignoles" - 2007
          Vignoles is a wonderful wine with a nose of peach and grapefruit.  It is a semi-dry wine that has a flavor that delicately bounces off the tongue.
          Vignoles and I have had a hate/love relationship since day one.  My wife really likes this one.  The first time I tried it I didn't like it,  then with each sip it started to grow on me.  It remains the same for me today.  I really enjoy it, then I'm not sure, then I'm really enjoying it again.  Oh yeah, and all in the same glass of wine.  Try this one for yourself.  I believe you will like it, and coming from Saint Croix Vineyards you can't go wrong.
Notes:  Many wineries open thier tasting rooms again in the spring.  I will be putting up a links post soon so you don't miss out.
