I’m not a drinker but I buy a bottle of wine a couple times a year. Bogle Merlot or Cabernet. Half a glass makes me a bit dizzy.

Those deep reds can pack a punch...Bogle's a good brand.

I've narrowed my choices down to:

Two wine clubs: Lost Oak Winery in Burleson, south of Fort Worth; and Fall Creek Vineyard in Driftwood, 30 minutes east of Austin.

Ankida Ridge, Amherst VA: beautiful views of the Shenandoah River. It's where an old Army buddy lives. We reconnected last summer for the first time in 40+ years. He was the cool and calm officer like Dick Winters of Easy Company. I was the "hair on fire" LT. Our CO was like CPT Sobel, couldn't read a map to save his life.

I was his Best Man when they got married. Never heard speak a word of English until last summer, lol.

I still buy from Weingut Eduard Kroth, Briedel, Germany. You can buy from their website, weinguteduardkroth.com. They've been around since 1506. I had plans to buy a case for Christmas, but I'm overstocked at the moment. My grandson played in a tournament in Cooperstown last summer, and we came back with 4 cases of wine.
