The wine bottle or vineyard??

both will work!

 

[ctnurse]

Red or white wine??? Got a vineyard in my back yard that I walk through every day. They make an awesome mixed red wine (I forgot the combo of grapes need to get a bottle!!)

White, I'm drinking my regular pinot grigio My BIL grew up on a vineyard and made us some nice red wine last year.....I don't need to say more!

need pictures or it doesn't exist....

Yup, what she said

We went out today and bought some fireworks...DS can't wait for it to get dark to set them off, we just set off a trial one....lots of color and smoke

Okay. I am on the picture thing tomorrow (it is dark now) Here is a link to the map so you can at least semi believe me.

They are only open on Saturday and don't speak English but always open a bottle to share. Very friendly and helps me with my French

I live in the town Bardonnex

Don't have any full bottles right now only empties . So i can understand how my credibility is impacted here....don't worry I will rebound.

So they still limit Fireworks in CT to only flowering cones and such. When I was there we had to drive to PA to get the good stuff. Man do I miss the 4th!!!

Also, as note I have been going through a Spanish Red Wine phase lately....just seemed to be tasty this last couple of weeks. Weird.

Yes, they still limit fireworks, but my son doesn't know any different. Next weekend is sailfest, was that around when you lived in CT? It is the big fireworks in New London and Groton.

Talking to you makes me want to plan another trip to Europe! I would fit in well. And,thanks for the link...when I am in Geneva I can find your winery

I stopped at a winery earlier today and tried some peach Chardonnay (smelled amazing, light and sparkling), green apple Riesling (pucker your face sweet, even for sweet loving me), and cranberry Shiraz (also tasty, love the cranberry tartness). As you might have guessed, they are known for their fruit wines. Ended up getting the peach. Bonus: They are having a party next week so that gives me a reason to go back and try more.

 

[TheBigE]

Yes I remember sail fest. Oh man now you are making me miss the east coast. I really miss the ocean, we have a lake here but not the same. Oh yeah and Paul's Pasta in Groton.....yummy. Is it to late for some of his Fettucine Alfreado....okay yeah it is...rambling here.

In May and Nov they do an open Caves (winery) here in GVA area and for a small price you get a glass and all the wineries are open and you walk to each and sample the wine and food. Tres Bon!! That is when you should plan your visit. It is one of the nice things about living here.

 

[ahoff]

I know that area. During some of my visits coinciding with the Fourth I went to a big celebration just past Carouge. Do they still have them? ( though it is over by now...)

Waiting for the fireworks to start here in the next town. Saw a great display last night at the Phish show. They ended with an a capella of the Star Spangled Banner, then the fireworks started during the encore, and ent on for fifteen minutes after. All in all one of the best weekends I have had in a while, great weather to go along with the great music and great vibe. Hope they repeat next year!!

And no work tomorrow, four day weekend, so I am headed to the beach.

 

[taramoz]

I loved the NKOTB!!! I saw them 6 times back in the day! And I have a Danny Wood letting me take of his shirt on stage story!!!! I'm a little sad I will miss it.


LMAO!! Almost sip my wine out! Notice the almost! I don't want to waste any wine.



We just got home has a great time in NH. It was very relaxing, I had a great time with my family! And only 44 days to our trip to WDW.

LOL, I loved Joey! I still have a NKOTB watch, maybe I should wear it? <joke>

 

[taramoz]

I surprised DD7 today about the upcoming Disney trip, she was/is so happy!!! I tried to video it but somehow didn't hit record, her reaction was priceless!!!

Never been to Sailfest but have been to the art show they hold in Mystic on early August.

Yum....Paul's Pasta....I love the lobster ravoli and creamy garlic salad dressing. May or Nov it is...I am ready for a overnight flight! That sounds like a really nice time for the wineries.

OMG.... I was GOING to marry Joey!!!!! I had so much NKOTB stuff....I had the sheets and pillow cases....I got to sleep with them every nite

Too bad about the video....can't wait to hear about your trip

INSOMNIA is setting in over hear...dang it!!!!

Supposed to have Fireworks at Buot-de-Monde which I guess would be Carouge, but I heard those were moved. Did not feel like chasing all over town looking for them. Usually end up at Lady Godiva or Grand Duke and not watching Fireworks. I have read this book and know how it ends.

STOP STOP STOP, okay no don't tell me more...okay do....wait wait no dont, I need to focus here! I forgot about the cream garlic salad dressing. OMG, that was some of the best food and atmosphere anywhere. Loved sitting on the porch watching the boat on the Thames.

Book the flight, Continental flies direct from Newark to Geneva. Not a bad flight, more of an issue getting to Newark. At least you don't have to go through Paris or London. Fly back through those on the way home.

The wineries are really kewl and you get to walk through all the oak barrels. Sorry I know not helping, but again see the beginning - Insomnia.

So what does it say if I KNEW a guy who had a NKOTB cassette? Just curious and no I do not have them on my ipod.

I love Mystic, it is just too bad that summer is soooo short in these parts.

I haven't been there in a while, but now I am going to make a trip to Paul's and Geneva

I bet you know all the words to the NKOTB songs I know I do....

 

[TheBigE]

Perhaps.

I still believe that there is no problem in the world that can't be solved with 80s Hair Band Music. Just sayin....

Well not ALL the words and BTW just checked iPod and I go from Natalie Cole to Nickelback to Night Ranger......no NKOTB. (sigh of relief).

U make a trip to Paul's and I will make a trip to local winery. Sounds like a deal.
