Did you know that I can make wine? It's true. Last August or so, I became interested in this hobby. I researched cold weather grape vines with plans of starting a vineyard in eastern Montana. I even had a name picked out: Beauty Valley Vintners. There was even a blog devoted to this. It died a rapid death (whereas this one is dying a slow death). The name came from the creek (crick) that runs through our property and I still hope to one day make my small winery a reality, but for now single batches of wine made from purchased concentrate shall have to suffice. My first vintage was a Johannesburg Gewurtztraminer and I have yet to share it with anybody. Let me just say this about that batch of wine: My dreamy Beauty Valley Vintners logo was to start out something along the lines of "bold, dramatic vintages that capture the essence of the prairie and the homestead era of days gone by...crisp herby notes of sagebrush and wheat that will take you back to a place less hurried."
