shall555 0 #26 April 11, 2007 I really like "Old Tire Wash." It's brewed in North Dakota -- sure, they have a short growing season, but hey. They sell the actual grapes to some company that makes jelly. They use the stems and roots left over to make the wine. Mmm. Just savoring the aroma one thinks of motor oil and week-old clams, dockside. It's unmatched, I tell ya... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
swedishcelt 0 #27 April 11, 2007 QuoteHa! My boyfriend would love a dragon one. For some reason he likes dragon stuff and I always laugh at him. Dragon paintings around the house, I could not handle. But a dragon wine decanter, that would be funny. You mean like this one? I saw it and tried to buy it but was out bid. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
