Help[Facts] Re: what about Chanidier or Champaine?
in reply to a message by PriaposLovs
Oh, I'd forgotten your addition of "Armani" to the list! Okay, so the list now includes 4: Armani, Cristal, Mercedes, and Tiffany. They could start an all-girl singing group and call themselves "Rich Chix". Spice Girls and Destiny's Child, watch out! :)
Sam Adams is a nice brew, but here on Long Island we've got to support our wineries (which are winning international awards these days for their wines). One of the earliest, and biggest, of the L.I. wineries is Pindar -- started by a Greek doctor as a hobby and tax write-off. I've got in-laws from England visiting in a couple of weeks, and we'll be taking them on the obligatory L.I. wineries tours and taste-testing. Also gotta find out what bands may be scheduled at the wineries over the next few weekends.

I usually try to get some Cedar Creek Winery or Door County Winery wines. Too bad they're somewhat difficult to get here, too (pricewise and otherwise.) Popularity, I guess. ;) Cedar Creek Winery gives tours and has connections to historic landmarks/shops. A tad out of the way from Milwaukee, but... I'm gonna open my next to last bottle of Cranberry Apple wine tonight.

Mmmmm -- Pindar! My sis-in-law in Setauket took us on a trip out to the L.I. wineries a coupla years back. Toured Pindar (her favorite)and bought several bottles of their product. My wife still raves about some sort of a Summer Blush(?) they had that tasted almost like strawberries! Your in-laws surely will enjoy themselves!

Pindar is our favorite winery, too, and I think they've had the most award-winning wines. We live a whole lot closer to L.I.'s Wine Country than your sis-in-law in Setauket, so everyone who comes to visit gets the winery tour. That, and having lunch at Gossman's Dock out in Montauk are two of our favorite things for visitors. Did your in-laws ever take you out there? And, of course, there's the Stephen Talkhouse. Can't miss a night at the Talkhouse. Did you get to go there when you were on L.I.?

They've never hauled me out to either place, but my wife THINKS she went to Gossman's with them on a trip out to Montauk when she visited alone.
My sis-in-law's husband's a senior administrator at SUNY-Stony Brook, and we tend to end up at some nice eatin places around there and Port Jeff when we visit, but not much further afield, alas. I'll have to bring up the ones you mention next time we're up.
