Writing Wine Back Home

by Farley

As I mentioned briefly before, I wrote a wine column for the Jackson Free Press. After my trip back home, I contacted one of the editors to see if he’d want my newly up-close perspective, only to find that he’d tried to get in touch with me.

The column is actually a combo of my first and third versions. Unfortunately, I found out I couldn’t write about Fogarty wines, which, thank god, isn’t the case here. I was only going to do it for the first piece because
A) it fit nicely into my story of the wine journey out here and
B) I had become a fan of Fogarty wines back home, where they are readily available.

Apparently, MS is one of our best out-of-state markets.

The next one will be due in a week or so; therefore, I’m asking you–readers and drinkers– southern or otherwise, for idea suggestions…

    Farley, here’s a possible story idea: a “view from the heart” of the people, wine, food, and other experiences that you have enjoyed (or not) in the year that you’ve been in the wine country. Perhaps that’ll offer some understanding (closure?) to the folks back home who may want some insight behind why you chose to leave for California.

    Farley,

    Besides writing for 451 at the PitStopReport.com, I do mosaics as a hobby in my free time.

    I enjoy the hobby so much, that I am planning on selling some of my stuff in the near future.

    One of the projects that I do is a wine bottle balance. I was wondering if I could send you a mosaic wine bottle balance, care of Fogarty, for you to use, abuse and maybe even review.

    Let me know and I can have it out soon!

    Thanks,

    Scott

    Russ, that’s a good idea. I’ll see if I can get started on that soon.
    Scott, looking forward to wine bottle balance to abuse.
