I make wine myself. I am starting 10 gallons of plum wine this week. My favorite is black berry or elderberry wine. I like my wine dry. this stuff is SO good. I keep making it to strong though. One bottle will put you on your lips. I keep lowering the hydrometer reading hoping to get to 10% alcohol.. but keep comming up to 13-14%. Good stuff.
We like to make Muscadine wine here. The vines are plentiful. I started
planting and feeding my own vines this year. I can't wait untill they are old
enough and I have enough of them to actually produce my own.{not intending
anything comercial} I just like doing it.

In the real world people are more sympathetic. My wife and I dined in a fast food restaurant yesterday.
I ordered our usual, one hamburger, one small fry and one small soda.
I cut the hamburger in half and counted out the fries equally in two piles.
I slid my wife's portion over to her, and I could hear the whispers coming from other tables,
"That poor old couple, all they can afford is one meal for the two of them."
As I'm eating, a young man comes over and offers to buy us another meal. I respectfully declined and told him we were used to sharing.
My wife hasn't taken a bite, she's just sitting there watching me eat and occasionally taking a sip from the soda.
Again the guy comes over and begs to buy us another meal.
My wife tells him no, we are used to sharing everything.
I'm just finishing up and the man asks my wife, "May I ask what you're waiting for."
My wife says, "The teeth."

If your ever in Philly or Pittsburgh, sample some VooDoo beer. There various styles of dark beer are awesome. The brewery is only about 45 minutes from my office. Good people too.

For those of you that like Blue Moon, try Hoegaarden. IMO its what Blue Moon is trying to mimic. It absolutely blows the doors off Blue Moon, only problem is its hard to find.
Stella Artois is decent as well
here is a nice list you can go through. Best place to buy any booze from. You can special order some off the wall stuff, or stuff no one ever heard of. Wonder if they can get a Hoegaarden keg ???
