Brotherhood, America’s Oldest Winery Cabernet Sauvignon

April 24, 2010 – 8:32 am

Last night we enjoyed a bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon from a New York State winery, Brotherhood, America’s Oldest Winery.

Dark fruit berry nuances followed from the aroma through to the finish. It’s a […]

Do “We the People” Need Another Government Law?

April 19, 2010 – 8:27 am
