HEARD ON THE GRAPEVINE Spring is officially here.  This is the time I remember egg hunts, God's love, new suits, . . . and . . . chocolate!  There are few things I enjoy more than eating the ears off of a nice chocolate bunny while downing a rich, sweet blueberry wine while waring my yet-to-be purchased Easter bonnet and a new, larger size, suit.  Heaven! If you are planning to cook a traditional Easter dinner (Virginia or smoked ham), may i suggest you try a nice Gewurztraminer (Alsace), Apple wine or a dryish Riesling.  On the other hand, if you like lamb as your main course, try a Cabernet Sauvignon or a Zinfandel as a compliment. Or, eat out and order those things. Easter also means the great migration home for our winter visitors.  Thank you for coming down - you bring joy, humor and clogged roads and we will miss you.  So, for those of you leaving, "you-all com-on back soon, you hear." WORT'S HAPPENING Beer lovers - it's baseball season!  If you are going to watch major league baseball in front of your "big screen", you had better make some big-time brew to go with the hot dogs and popcorn.  Stop in - we have a wide variety of nice summer ales and beers.  GET OUT OF THE CELLAR DEVIL RAYS!  Skip A FEW REMINDERS Strawberries are inexpensive right now, so I hope you have all started making your wine.  Strawberry wine is dry (can be sweetened) and goes well with fruit, soft cheeses, fruit gelatins and Italian pastries. Personal Taxes are due April 16th (ugh) but Wine lover's day is April 12th. FINALLY In hone of the Easter season: Some minds are like concrete- thoroughly mixed up and permanently set. Please starts with a smile I don't know why some people change churches; what difference does it make which one you stay home from? A lot of church members who are singing "standing on the Promises" are just sitting on the premises. Be ye fishers of men.  You catch them - He'll clean them. Coincidence is when God chooses to remain anonymous Don't put a question mark where God puts a period. Don't wait for 6 strong men to take you to church. Forbidden fruits create many jams. God grades on the cross, not on the curve. God promises a safe landing, not a calm passage. Prayer"  Don't give God instructions - just report for duty! The task ahead of us is never as great as the Power behind us. The Will of God never takes you to where th Grace of God will not protect you. The best mathematical equation I have ever seen:  1 cross + 3 nails = 4 given. and Finally, God loves everyone, but probably prefers "fruits of the spirit" over "religious nuts!"   Til next month . . .
