Have some Tensley wines in my cellar, they are very big and are laying them down, looking forward to drinking them. Winemaker reminds me more of a Math teacher.. QOTD-Joe Namath. http://www.winelx.com

    Gary-
    QOD:
    Favorite under the radar winery?
    Gary- you know this one!
    Biltmore Estate Winery!
    Here is their link:

    http://www.biltmoreestate.com/

    The Biltmore Estate Winery was started in the mid 1960’s.
    So that means their oldest vines are about 35 years old.
    They have great wines!

    Hey Gary, ever think of making a video podcast of WLTV? I’d love to take your show with me on my commute!!! Not to mention all of the people you’d lure into the community through iTunes. You’ve probably already thought of it, but just mentioning it.

    I don’t know any Joey’s.

    Nice episode, They have a good little website for their winery, you should have put it up as a link.

    I am wishing, yet again, that the state of MD changes their policies on shipping.

    Gary,
    Love the winemakers they are the best- especially for us home vitners- dessert wines- I made a muscat last year and it went from 8 brix to 1 in 2 days – So that style is a tuff thing to make requires alot of attention- Also curious if you could ask him if he used native wild yeast or did he add in his own yeast for fermintation
