http://www.renaultwinery.com/default.aspToday my wife and I went on a winery tour at The Renault Winery. Founded in 1864, in Egg Harbor City, NJ. It was fun, informative and the wine is pretty good. They have lots of activities there; hotel, golf, brunches, gourmet food tasting, catering/banquets. The link is above, (hope I posted it right) They don't produce a lot of wine. They sell to a few local restaurants and retail out of their gift shop. It was a pleasant way to spend Labor Day afternoon.

Gee that looks like a very nice winery MC.  I assume you know your wines. Me, I am just a taster. Glad it was fun. I'm not a huge wine drinker but the only winery I visited was FFC's in Northern CA. It was actually quite fun. They put us in an enclosed room and gave us sample after sample of wine to taste. I can't remember how many different wines, but I did have a pleasant little buzz going when we left.  Of course there is the shop and wine to purchase, along with GF souvineers, etc. It was fun. It would make a nice "meet" someday for the BBers. TIS Looking at their prices, they are very reasonable. Did you buy yourself a case? Always good to have on hand for company.

Did you buy yourself a case? Always good to have on hand for company. I know a few wines..., well, I have my cheap favorites. Dry reds. Italian - Montpulciano area/grape is nice. Australia - Shiraz. Coppola makes a good California wine. Can be a little more expensive than most California wines. Some of my fav names; Fat Bastard, Fat Ass Cab, Joe Blows Red Wine. We managed a little buzz too, but we only bought two bottles. Pinot Grigio for the Mrs. and Rouge for me.
