A "Soupcon of Asparagus" and a "Flutter of Poo!"

For those of you who saw the movie, Sideways, you may remember this quote:

"and, oh, there's just like the faintest soupçon of like asparagus and just a flutter of a, like a, nutty Edam cheese... "

That quote was said right before Niles realized Jack was chewing gum while wine tasting. Oy vey!

But I have my own twist in this quote.

"Notes of asparagus and a hint of poo." Poo, you may ask? Yes, poo.

At Halter Ranch, we've been waiting FOREVER to get into our "new & improved" tasting room.  It has been remodeled - 17 feet have been added with a new bar, as well as a second level to the outside patio seating area. We were just getting ready to move in when...

A huge shit load (yes, pun intended) of manure/compost showed up to help the garden. The guys spread it all around the tasting room and well, everyone says we smell like a horse ranch. The thing is, I actually live on a horse ranch and it doesn't smell anything like this. I mean, this is BAD. Yucky bad.

Leslie (from Halter) said she's going to put up a sign that says:
"No, we are not Harris Cattle Ranch...even though we smell like it." Snap!

So come, visit us today in our new & improved tasting room to see if you too, can taste the faintest taste of poo in the vino.

Tee hee!
