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.

I didn’t know wine except for the “Dago Red” my gramps used to make. I walked the wine aisle in the supermarket and saw Bogle, chose it because the label said it was family run, or something like that. It tasted good, then I googled it and saw it had a good review.

Eggnog is what I have a problem with. This brand:

My wife and I used to drive to the family dairy and get six bottles at Christmas.

Once I open it I can’t leave it alone. I bought three quarts last week, gave two away for Thanksgiving. The third one was mine, it barely lasted three days.
