The boyfriend and I visited The Winery at Wolf Creek last Saturday. This is a local winery we occasionally visit (and where we had our first date!). Every time we go, there's a wine that wasn't previously on the list, which is good because they seem to sell out pretty quickly on some of their other wines by the end of the winter. Could it be because it's so close to civilization and we Ohioans have nothing to do all winter but drink? Anyway, this time, we discovered a little gem called Space Cowboy.
Now, yeah, being Mars Girl and a sometimes amateur astronomer, I admit to being partial to space-themed alcohol, food, theatre, rides, runs, etc., etc. But I was a in wine snob mode and a little incredulous about trying another fruit wine. The little siren in my head was screaming, Sweet! Sweet! Stay away!
However, the spacey name, along with the label of cowboy strandling a peach in front of a star-filled background, called to me so I asked for a sample... and was happily surprised. This wine was very smooth with only hints of peach amidst a base that tasted to me like a semi-sweet Riesling. It had a dry finish.
We drank a bottle and the pleasantness lasted throughout...

Small world. The first singer in the band I used to play in in Akron is a manager at Wolfcreek.
Is this the band I saw you play in? Or is this before that time?
The bf and I frequent that winery... We saw Anne E. DeChant there a few months ago. (I love Anne E DeChant.)
Same band, but I am not sure if you met this singer.
How did I not know you have another blog?? I must be living under a rock!
That's okay. I didnt really advertise this one, and I havent kept up on it, even though I've tried other wines since April! ;)
You should write a Lodi entry :)
