Anyone know how good the wine is? My brother is getting married soon and I might want to buy a case for his wedding.

Hi Guys,
Forgot to call today for my annual Christmas order. Is it still possible to get a filet roast, trimmed well, and pick up on sat 12/24? I need it for 9 people. You can reach me via email or my cell 610-585-0100. Thank you, as usual.

We tired J Maci winery today. Awful experience. The tastings were SO small – the owner(who ended up insulting me) said they were 1/2 an oz but they were even smaller than that. And they were $30 unless you bought one bottle per tasting. The owner said if I had a better palate the size of the tastings would be enough and that the other wineries in PA cater to people who just want to get drunk. Nice – I have never been so insulted. If they want to claim they pour 1/2 oz, they should get stoppers for the wine bottles. The woman pouring today poured more on the counter than in our glasses.

Hi Jo-Lynne

I’ve driven past this one dozens of times but never stopped in. Ill have to make a point of it and check this one out too. Any idea if they sell free-range beef, pork, and eggs? I’ve found a few small family farms in Medford and Shamong that offer it but they are a bit out of the way.

Started drinking their raw milk! It is amazing!! We tried their yogurt this week—WOW is that delicious! They are such gracious folks…I brought my daughters with me so they could see the farm! We got to go out and see the calves. My younger daughter was so excited that a calf suckled on her finger. An experience we will not forget!
