Our first review...


Well, the wine has been made, bottled and labeled...and now it has received it's first review.
"This wine is great!" --Josh O.
Thanks, Josh! We think its pretty tasty, too...I have attached a pic of our label (Great job, Lon!) and the here's the verbage on the back:
'We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.'

In our Late Harvest Riesling you will find notes of honey, apple and apricot dominate the aroma and taste, right through the long, rich finish. Displays much of the complexity of an Ice Wine, but with less sweetness.

Lon and Rachel Jordan created this late harvest Riesling with love for each other and their country. Their hope is for all Americans and citizens of the world to have the opportunity to experience freedom, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

Of course I played with the fonts, but blogger.com won't support them. Eventually maybe I'll get a pic of the actual bottle on here...Other than that, we recently attended The Three Sisters Bluegrass Festival at Ross' Landing on the TN River. This is an annual free concert right on the water held in early October. It was fantastic! The first Sunday of every month is the Hunter Museum of Art's free Sunday. We attended that as well, checking out the new exhibit from NYC and some live music on the plaza. Fall is definitely here and we are welcoming it with open arms (and open windows and doors!) Right now it is overcast and 61 degrees. We've been getting quite a bit of rain the last week or so, but the fall colors are just starting to peek through the green. Out of my window right now I see pinks, reds, pale oranges and some light yellows. And still a lot of green, too.
