The Search for Star

Yesterday Tracy and I went to the Finger Lakes in search of a wine named Star with a great label to give as part of a gift this Christmas. We stopped at the outlets, bought new sneakers and gym clothes for the ones that were stolen out of the van, a Christmas gift, and a new coat. We stopped at  Goose Watch Vineyard and picked up a case of our favorite red wine, Renaissance Red. Then we got to Lucas Vineyards, only to discover “Star” was a single year production and there is none left. Well, that left me with a real dilemma since a whole series of gifts had already been purchased with “Star” as the finishing touch. So off I went to Marketview Liquor where I cruised the aisles looking at labels. Let me tell you, there are some great labels out there, but not many stars! Finally found an Italian pinot grigio called Stella with a satisfactory star on the label--although not as cool at the one from Lucas. All this for Secret Santa!
