Fulchino Vineyard

[BonnieJoy]

Al - Just went to your website. Very impressive. The family photos are a great touch and makes one feel at home. I also read Wade & Richard's wine reviews. From their desciptions, it sounds like your signature wine will be in demand when it goes on the market. Iadore BIG, fruityreds. If we can figure out how to ship to Indiana, I'll be one of your first customers.

 

[AlFulchino]

Gee, Bonnie Joy, thank you for the kind words...Rich was on the money all along when he told me that this was the friendliest wine forum around.


My wife is ansty to get us licensed...i am a one day at a time man...if it is meant to be it will come, I say.

 

[Wade E]

Thats because she knows what we now know that with a wine like that you can be raking in some doe!

I will start this off by saying I can resist everything but temptation........

Al,

The special occasion was today. I had no better reason then I wanted to to open your bottle. I carefully opened it up with my "fancy" corkscrew. Grabbed two wine glasses and poured the wine into the glasses. I removed the cork from said fancy corkscrew and smelled the cork. Having never eaten or tasted black currant before (at least not knowingly) the smell was pretty nice and fruity. I have smelled this before. I drew in a deep breath of the bouquet from one of the glasses. It actually made me think of another wine, actually a port I recently tasted. I offered SWMBO the other glass, but she declined at the moment and asked me to save her a glass. Needless to say if she doesn't get a glass soon (tonight) I am afraid she will have to wait for Mr. Fulchino's next batch. Not being an educated wino, I will say that this is definitely a money blend my friend. If it were available to me locally I would probably start stocking up quickly. In fact, when you do start commercially I would like to be on your list of customers. If not first on the list. I poured my second glass about 20 minutes ago and I am letting it breathe a spell. Ok thats long enough........ I'll have to get back to you on this one.

 

[AlFulchino]

looking forward to the conclusion in part two

I'm either tasting chocolatey notes or my mind is making me want to taste them. Either way I really like the way its invoking that flavor to me mind. I am on glass #3 right now Al. And to tell the truth its some powerful stuff just shy of a port itself.

Since I live too far away give yourself a great pat on the back and call the patent office cause you have a definite winner with this blend.

 

[AlFulchino]

thank you....and i agree....there is some chocolate in there....and i think it comes on after the first or second glass

 

[gaudet]

Might have just been me, but I tasted it in every glass, not initially, but it seemed to come on after a few sips. You had to see me drink it. I was in the lawn chair in the back yard, sitting among the juvenile muscadine vines. Enjoying a brisk breeze as well as the wine..... Good times.....

 

[AlFulchino]

hahaha, nice way to enjoy it...did anyone else have at least a sip?

 

[gaudet]

Wife had a sip, but is not in a drinking mood. I finished it off about an hour ago........ I miss it already. As young and and good as it was, I bet it will be awesome with a little gray hair on the bottle. I wonder what that would taste like after 1-2 years or 2-3 years of age.....

 

[AlFulchino]

well, she doesnt know what she was missing


it ages well, God willing each time...

[Wade E]

Looks like another winner Al!

 

[grapeman]

Another great label in the works Al. This one is another work of Art or is that Al?

You didn't waste any time getting that picture copyrighted! Now how can I "snag" it with a clear conscience?

You have some talented daughers there.

 

[NorthernWinos]

Beautiful label....will fit on everything.

 

[BonnieJoy]

Your daughters did an awesome job of capturing the ambiance of an "Old World" cellar. That new lablel makesmy mouth water with anticipation. It should be especially invitingon yourbig red wine that everyone is raving about

 

[AlFulchino]

here is something that i came across today...it was on Leon Millot vine which is extremely healthy and vigorous....this is the first time i have come across this in real life and believe i have it correctly diagnoses but i do not want to say just yet so that i do not prejudice replies..i would rather have a blind analysis



what do you think this is?




well i would show you but i get a message that says i dont have member access to add a picture ugh
