CraftCrazy,
Oh no … a Church Fund Raiser creates Wine Snob for Red, Expensive Wine. Now that seems like a satirical headline all to its own. Hmmm … South Africa if I recall … which also means your share of good, national grown wines. Thanks for sharing … and see the post with the numbers too.

What great fun! I discovered wine through a Church Fund Raiser – lol! I’m a complete red wine snob though – my palette really only likes expensive wines – it will not be fooled. Hubby thinks it’s hysterical!

LOL … additional wine names involving animals.

I thought you asked for additional animals.

Mouse,
Great point about wine labels – which are also part of the marketing plan. Glad you enjoyed this and thanks for visiting.

Les,
Joining you at Duckhorn or elsewhere in wine country would be a pleasure! Thanks for commenting.

Great list. Wine labels are also interesting: little works of art!

Debra,
I guess that means its time for a road trip for me. Unfortunately, I can’t drive there. Thanks for sharing and tell your sister about this post.

My sister has a winery in Australia called Curly Flat. Wine labels can be fascinating.

A fun list to put together … and I like your term “wine culture” … Thanks for commenting.

That’s ok – but I imagine you enjoyed some of the names. Thanks for visiting.

Lame,
Thanks to Google, I can confirm “The Old Farm.” … Wait … I should say that the person who somewhat knows the language confirms Google. And now the next time you are around a wine selection in a store, I will be curious to know if you started looking at labels. Thanks for commenting.

Molly,
Welcome first-time commenter, and I appreciate your additions, which will make it to the list in time. However, you have given me another idea for a list – wines with animals emblems on the label but without animal names – such as Hahn, Hawke, etc. My eye will be on the lookout. Thanks for visiting and commenting.

Debra,
I guess this is another endorsement for me writing a post about having a church wine group – thus to give you a reference for your congregation. Meanwhile, thanks for Tortoise Creek and I will add it to the list soon. Thanks for visiting.

Rich,
Good question. Although my biological side recognizes humans as animals, I’ve limited this to non-human animals and wine. Then again, Fat Bastard could be the expletive one yells at the large primate who hit a person with a tomato at the zoo. Thanks for commenting.
