Like the rings of Saturn and Uranus – It’s cosmically delicious. Obama - Black Diamond Vineyards (IL Wine) Black Diamond Red - Red Table Wine (no bottle price listed on the website...how much will it really cost) This eye-opening bouquet is a prelude to subtle black cherry and currant undertones. Derived from the Chambourcin grape (is that really black or white), this semi-sweet red has an exotic finish. McCain-Echo Canyon Winery (Sedona, AZ Wine) The land here in our valley is beautiful and unique, with four geological layers of earth exposed, revealing thousands of years of history and change. 2003 Cabernet Sauvignon • $39.99 This is the 2nd in a series of Joe Beeler artist labels. Sadly Joe passed before the label was finished. However, he did partake of this rich wine with gorgeous mouth feel and great classic fruit. This wine is balanced with great tannins, flavor and great color Biden – Long Trout Wine (PA wine long on wind and hard to catch)
