Just when you find a beautiful blog...
you find out that its days are numbered!
Oh well, I will definitely peruse the archives of Hallowed Ground to make up for lost time. A blog that has great visuals, and good theology!
Sometimes, post dies Latine scribendi, or of smiling and SMILING and pouring wine for people, I just want to look at.. pretty... pictures... not read about Church scandals or liturgical debates. Call me shallow. My lack of mental vim and vigor must be due to the carbon dioxide being released during fermentation of the grapes right now. It can become hard to breathe if we don't remember to open the winery door often. Whooo! A little light-headed. Though that excuse doesn't help me during the other months of the year, when there's no fermentation whatsoever...
IN RELATED NEWS, visually-related and non-serious, I've discovered a wonderful modern poster artist, Jean-Pierre Got . For those of us who love Art Nouveau or Art Deco posters, it is a consolation to know that he is creating stylish and whimsical works. Some of my favorites (winery-wise and poster-wise) from his website . I in no way wish to profit from his work (even if it were possible for me to profit from it...), so I hope he does not mind if I post a few of his posters, with the link back to his site.
Yay, Charbay! Not only do they produce lovely wine, but they also create vodkas made from fruit. GOOD fruit. The poster pretty much sums up how I feel about their aqua vitae...
You might like Toulouse- Lautrec... but just make sure that your corks aren't too-loose! Ha, ha....... ha.
You know, just tonight I was telling Mr. P that we had to go to Toad Hollow Vineyards. I don't know anything about their wine or what they produce, but with a name like Toad Hollow... you have to go! I sense a field trip...
