Communion question

[Davidnic]

Eeehh......Hawaii isn't exactly "Wine Country Of The World", much less anywhere in the U.S.

Believe it or not, we can't even order wine online. Strange as that may sound.

Yeah PA has restrictions too. Let me look and see if there is a local one for ya.

Thanks David.

Really appreciate it.

Thanks David.

Really appreciate it.

After a few min of research I need to say...you have strange wines in Hawaii

Guava blended wine.

Anywoo...Symphony http://www.diamondheadwinery.com/dhframeset.htmfrom Diamond head winery is close but not exactly the same. But it will be a close approximation. That particular version is Muscat (similar taste and sweetness) and is also crossed with my favorite grape the Grenache (though my Italian relatives would pass out as I compliment a French grape).

So although not strictly what we are talking about...likely a nice wine. It is on their page under white wines. If I come across anything more in line with traditional muscadine I'll let you know.

Yeah, I know. Don't know what some people were thinking when they created some of the wines here.

I'd stay away from the pineapple one if I were. Tried it once with a couple of friends. Let's just say......it didn't make the "Wine Of The Month" list.

Yes! The Duplin Winery. Great place...lovely wines. The next time y'all come to NC, David, you really need to go to the winery for a tour and tasting. The restaurant there is fabulous, too.


I'd send you a bottle or three, Ann, if I could. I've still got boxes of candy corn and saltwater taffy that I have yet to ship to some lovely people that have probably given up on me ever keeping my word. :o

Are you saying that Hawaii has a law against imported wines? Or that it's just illegal to send them in the mail? Because I know that Duplin has a membership thing where they ship you about six wine selections a month. My personal favorites are the Hatteras Red and the Christmas wine.

I have not had the Christmas one. I'll agree on Hatteras Red. I had that just again a few months ago.

The Christmas is a blend of the Hatteras red and another wine...can't remember which one right now...but it is very good. I almost like it better than the HR because it is not so overpoweringly sweet. Bit of trivia...on the bottle of the Christmas wine is a picture of Santa Claus holding 'the list'. The names on the list are the names of the family and employees that worked for the winery the year the Christmas wine first came out. Pretty cool.
