butterducks

"Butter ducks all over, rubbing gently, before placing on roasting pan..." - (as Julia Child may have once said)

"The dogs barking "Jingle Bells" is good, but her ducks are amazing as they quack their way through the alphabet!" - (as Larry the Cable Guy might have said during a holiday special)

"She wanted them to go in a straight line, but her ducks flew up in all directions when the cage was opened!" - (as Jeff Foxworthy may have declared in a duck blind tale)

"Wow! Did you see her leap over that bush? But her duck under the limbo rod showed real agility!" - (as uttered by a possible judge of a children's sports tournament)

hahaha!
Cute, right? All totally made up by yours truly, but I couldn't resist!

I've just returned from an outing with the No Kidding! group of Savannah. Today's foray was in honor of the 8th anniversary of the world-renowned - but still local - Butterducks Winery. Of the four of us present, three are members of the fan club - imagine that! As such, all of us received the Grand Tour, a commemorative wine glass, and tastings of three of the wines. Plus, we partook of the snacks and such, as well as the vendors set up in the sunshine on the lawn. Very nice day!
Oh, you wondered which wines I sampled? Okay! The Blueberry wine - nicely dry, distinctly blueberry, but not overwhelming so. You know what I mean?
The Sweet Blackberry and the Sweet Scuppernong - both sing of summer heat and beg to be poured on pound cake!
Interestingly, these fruity wines are just that - 100% pure fruit, not blends. Let me say that again: These wines are made from only ONE fruit and are not blends. Also, the fruits used are the same ones, or better, than those that you would buy for your fruit bowl at home. That is special, too, in the wine industry.
You should give them a try sometime. It's definitely worth the drive to Guyton, being midway between Savannah and Statesboro.
