Local Winery

[jglass]

Our city coucil is voting on if it should allow a winery to operate here in Carter County. I have been past the farm where it is at. Looks nice to see the maincured grape vines growing at their place. I hope they get permission to operate but Carter County is dry so Im not sure how that is going to work out for them. Personally I hate the taste of wine. I use it occasionally to cook with.

Goodness a vote to allow a winery! How funny this day & age! Janie I am the opposite of ya I love me some wine!!! But with-in moderation of-course, as long as I am only mumbling and stumbling and giggling a little bit I know I can safely say I could Moderate a litttle more in my glass

Carter county is that where Carter Caves is located? I went camping there with my sister and her family this summer. I for one would love for them to put a winery there. It would be one more thing to do on a long weekend camping. I LOVE wine. We went to a winery in Indianapolis a few weekends ago. I think it would be good for your county.

Well, the county where Jack Daniels is made is also a dry county, but they seem to manage. I myself never understood why anyone would live in a place where alcohol is not allowed.

Where I used to live, there were five wineries and they do nothing but add a nice ambiance to the community.

geez - we have more wineries popping up than anything - grape territory here and yesterday we went for a ride past the farms - grapes flowing into 2 states and that's all you could smell for over 100 miles!

Surely they did more than that those lazy bums!

Yeah this is where Carter Caves is. The winery is in an area here called Iron Hill.
This area is heavily populated with bible packing holy rollers who will probably do everything they can to stop it. Ashland KY is about 20 miles or so from here and a wet county. I go there to get alcohol. I really like Disaronno Amaretto. The liquor store is pretty close to Kroger's and Big Lots so its pretty handy. We go over there to get my spices and stuff and make a day of it.

On the label of the wine we buy at our Georgia Wineries (where we go often) there is a scripture that speaks of everything in moderation and it has a scripture verse from Ephesians on it, I am not joking! We live in the bible belt too! It is a good verse reminding us against drunkeness. I sent my baby sister a bottle for their 25th wedding anniversary and she laughed and said only in Georgia would they do that!

OH and I later found out it was illegal for me to send wine thru the US mail and I am now a criminal and well ya' all might be having to write me when I'm locked up 'cept 1st they gotta catch me and find me guilty but the evidence is gone, and I do not recall mailing her a gift at all I also can not recall sending my sis-in-law a bottle either my memory is just not that good

LOL...Sis Cathy ! You better Behave yourself !
I don't drink anything stronger than a Dr pepper .....except maybe once or twice a year... a glass of wine.I was exposed to people that did not know what moderation was and because of it have a great dislike for what alchohol does to people.

Okay okay I will behave Francie.

All kidding aside I can not stand drunkeness it is disgusting for so many reasons, and drunks are usually not very funny or cute either. I share your great dislike for drunks and their very putrid behavior!
