Relax Doug, I was just screwing with your head. I haven't seen a bottle
of Boone's Farm or Annie Green Spring in over 30 years.

I live in El Dorado County in Northern California,(goes from Sacramento
to Tahoe - a long shitty gold country county, but hey, They use to hang
someone everyday here in the 1850's, we still have a dummy hanging on
main street, for tourist, in "Old HangTown" Placerville, weird, yeah I
know). BTW, gold is still here I have found a few nuggets in the creek at
the bottom of my property.

There are a little over 70 wineries here and not one makes a fruit wine.
You know I take that back, I think there is an apple farm that makes an
apple wine, but not really a winery. And there are just over a 1000
wineries in California and I am guessing there may be only one or two
that make a fruit wine unless they are a winery that specializes in Fruit
Wines. I am told some do exit here.

BESIDES, I am not looking for any fruit wines, I was just answering the
OP question. I rarely buy wine when I keep a constant 200 to 400 gallons
of Varietal wines in my "cellar".

Yesterday, I was out in a vineyard, just down the street from me,
inspecting some cabernet and merlot. Cab was very nice, but the Merlot is
going to be spotty. If the dam rain doesn't screw things up, I should be
getting several hundreds of grapes this coming weekend. Plus I have my
own vineyard of 60 Barbera Vines which should give me another 500-600
pounds. Basically, I stay fairly well set with all the wine I can drink.

Oh, Had our wine club "social" this weekend. I have about 70 or 80
pictures to post in the gallery, So far have posted about 24. I am there,
However, lol www.edhwm.com

I am Helaman, look under Photo Gallery, first category
