Wine
Flu, the Next
Pandemic
I went to a
dinner party last night, where I and other guests
enjoyed
copious amounts of alcohol. I awoke this
morning with flu-like
symptoms: headache,
nausea, chills, sore eyes. As a result, I
have
unfortunately tested positive for what a
cadre of experts are now
calling Wine
Flu.
This debilitating condition is serious - and
it appears this is NOT an
isolated case. Reports are
flooding in from across the country
of
others now being diagnosed with Wine Flu. To
anyone exhibiting the
aforementioned symptoms,
experts recommend a cup of tea and a bit of a
lie
down. However, should your condition worsen, you
should
immediately rent a DVD and call in
sick.
Then take the only drug proven to combat
this usual type of flu: a
McDonald's Quarter Pounder
with cheese. If that doesn't work,
further
application of the original liquid, in
familiar quantities, has been
shown to do the
trick.
Wine Flu does not NEED to be life
threatening! If treated early, it
can be
eradicated within a 24-48 hour period.
Stay
well!

Adams County
Winery is proud to announce the launch of our updated

time for the holiday gift giving season. Through the end

 Wine
Update
The Holiday Season
brings a time for Reflections.
Our limited
relese holiday wine for '09, Reflections is a secret blend
of apple wine infused with cranberry flavors and spices.
This wine's label reflects the beauty of our farm in the
wintertime, and the name represents our own reflections
on the joy of friends, family, and good wine, now and
throughout the year!
Be sure and visit us this
Holiday Season for some Reflections of your own!
Rusty's
Red is just off the bottling line and ready
to go home with you! This is the newest addition to our
red wines, named after our V.I.P., (Very Important
Pet, that is) Rusty, the Winery
dog. A sweet red wine, this is
sure to be a crowd pleaser! Come by for a tasting or
order it online!
Tears
of Gettysburg, Rebel
Red, and Yankee
Blue are also back on the shelves in time
for the holiday gift-giving
season! |

Vintner's
Report
We are finally
picking the last of our grapes! It is unusual for
us to wait this long, but we have been busy, making sure
that we have your favorite wines available. In the
past two weeks, Evan and Jesse have bottled Tears of
Gettysburg, Rebel Red, and our new holiday wine,
Reflections. Let me warn you now- We made a
limited quantity of the Reflections, and I can almost
guarantee that it will be gone before the 25th. So
if you want some, get it now. Anyway, we are now picking
our Cabernet Savignon. Although shriveled and ugly, the
berries taste excellent! But that is to be
expected this late in the season.
We also
purchased a new flippie video camera thingee (I think it
may have a more technical name), and we have been
videotaping some of the activities around here.
Here are links to three of the first ones that we
did:
Winemaker Evan has been whining
again. Seems that I require him to make more wine
that we have space to store, either in tank or in
bottle. I finally bought him two NEW tanks, but
that doesn't satisfy him. NOW he wants to be able
to walk from one end of the operations area to the
other without feeling like he is working his way through
a maze. We will probably be looking at expanding
storage in the very near future. This will happen
just as soon as I convince the boss (SWMBO) that it is a
good idea. The
first person who correctly identifies what SWMBO means
will win a bottle of Reflections, our new holiday wine.
Send your response to vintner@adamscountywinery.com.
Good luck.
Do you have someone for
whom it is difficult to get a present? If not
wine, then how about some of our really nifty stocking
stuffers? We have all sorts of nice items, you are
sure to find something you like.
Check out
the decorations at both the Gettysburg location and the
farm location. The staff there have been
letting the creative juices flow, and have come up with
joyous things to
behold. |
From
our family to yours,
Seasons
Greetings & Happy
Holidays! | |
