		LightCatcher 2005 Orange Muscat (dry) Newsom Vineyard Texas High Plains Appellation      This wine, one of only ten selected from all Texas wineries, was taken to Manhattan to be poured in a blind tasting for NY wine and food writers. It was put up against a world class wine, a Bott Freres Grand Cru Muscat from France, and... WON! Alsatian in style - dry but fruity...this Orange Muscat leads you in fine style to big flavors of papaya, apricot, pineapple and, of course, citrus. Pair it with dishes napped with cream sauces, blue cheeses, roast chicken, salmon, duck and goose. Also very good with middle-eastern and some asian foods - we love it with yellow curries, eggplant and lemon chicken.	-	150	100

Try it with cheesecake, chocolate truffles or creamy blue cheese and toasted walnuts.	10	49	39

Chai, our winery cat, was watching the sun set one afternoon from her favorite wine barrel perch. Caris saw her and grabbed her camera - as she focused, Chai turned to look at her with a look of complete love and happiness. When we made this blend and tasted it, we looked at eachother with love and happiness too. This wine is similar to a tropical reisling - aromas of caramel and pear lead into flavors of mango, pear, orange and rich pineapple. Semi-sweet and totally delicious.	7	26	20
		Happy Dog Texas Sweet Red Wine GOLD Medal - Grapefest 2010 Bronze Medal - Grapefest 2009 GOLD Medal - Grapefest 2008 Texas Reserve Grand Champion 2007 - HLR Bronze medal Texas Grand Champion 2006 - HLR Class Champion Silver medal Silver medal A delicious, fun, sweet red wine - a runaway best seller. Sweet but not too sweet, deep flavors and an unexpected complexity for a less expensive, sweet red. Flavors of cherry, caramel, brown sugar, and plum. Pairs GREAT with hot, spicy foods - the sweet balances heat. Named for our dog, Mai, who, when Caris was a home winemaker, loved to lick her arms clean after she'd been working with fermenting wine - she'd sit with such a look we'd say, 'Aren't you a happy dog!'. Now you can be too.	7	22	16
