The Libation Contemplation Thread

[Fading Fast]

The winery and vineyard my father founded (now called Dutch Henry Creek) seems to be within the fire zone of the Glass fire and is probably gone. We grieve.

I'm sorry. It sounds as if he/the family had already sold it?

That must have been quite an experience, founding a winery and vineyard.

I am sorry to hear of the loss described by Oldsarge and find myself wondering where/when these seemingly incessant natural disasters will end. We have consistently done so much to destroy this world of ours and so very little to save it! It really is very sad.

We sold it years ago because Dad came down with Alzheimer's and we needed the money to take care of him. Scott, who bought it, did everything that I would have done if we'd kept it and I had retired there. It was magnificent and we still had the emotional attachment. He had it up for sale for about $10M but now, I fear it may be a total loss.

I'm sorry for your dad and for you and your family as everyone is impacted when that happens. My girlfriend and I have two parents between us with various cognitive challenges now - it's, just being honest, awful.

It's the cruelest disease there is. At first the afflicted knows what's happening and once they aren't, the family still has to deal with the loss of their loved one, even though that loved one is physically there. And it goes on for years.

I would love to try this one day, Are they selling this yet?


I would like to try this Dunkin Donuts Beer Ale, it only has 5% alcohol.

Sure I'd like to share a glass of wine with her.

Stunningly beautiful, but then I've always been bat-shit crazy over limestone walled fireplaces. We had one of those in our home in Strongsville, Ohio, years ago! LOL. Oh you boys with the 'dirty' minds?

Funny, I didn't notice the limestone until you pointed it out.

What's with the girl's legs up in the air like that? She must be doing some morning exercise before that breakfast.

I was never much of a Sherry drinker so I didn't even know it was discontinued.

I'll have what she's having.

I would sip on sherry while my friends were still on Martini's.
