Goal of America
"...may I say in conclusion that our goal is freedom and I believe that we're going to get there. It's going to be more difficult from here on in but I believe we're going to get there because however much she strays away from it, the goal of America is freedom and our destiny is tied up with the destiny of America. Before the Pilgrim fathers landed at Plymouth we were here. Before Jefferson etched across the pages of history the majestic words of the Declaration of Independence we were here. Before the beautiful words of the Star Spangled Banner were written we were here..."
- from Speech given at Grosse Pointe High School, March 14, 1968
Spirit of Liberty & Patriotism
""A spirit of Liberty and Patriotism animates all degrees and denominations of men. Many publicly declare themselves ready to join the Bostonians as soon as violence is offered them or resistance thought expedient."
Defend Liberty
"Let us remember that if we suffer tamely a lawless attack upon our liberty, we encourage it, and involve others in our doom."
The Privilege of Thinking
"When men yield up the privilege of thinking, the last shadow of liberty quits the horizon."
Politics and War <> Mathematics and Philosophy
"I must study politics and war, that my sons may have liberty to study mathematics and philosophy." - letter to Abigail cerca 1780.
As Happy As She Pleases
"The answer to the ... question, can America be happy under a goverment of her own, is short and simple, viz. as happy as she pleases; she hath a blank slate to write upon."
- 1776

CASE SPECIAL | |
November Case Special - Ends Nov 30th! 25% off of a case (12 bottles) of our 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon featuring Nathanael Greene on the label. Join Wine Club for maximum discount. Tasting Notes: Imbued with a deep garnet hue, this hand-harvested, limited production Cab has a ripe palate of blackberries, currants and cassis with herbal notes in the aroma and subtle hints of menthol and spearmint. Full-bodied with structured tannins and good acidity, the wine has velvet mouthfeel with a strong backbone. |

VINEYARD | |
A Wonderful (and Lengthy!) Harvest We picked half of the Sauvignon Blanc plants on Sunday August 25th ... and finished with the Cab on Halloween - most extended ever, thanks to gyrating temps! Many vineyards reported lower yields (fewer tons per acre), attributed to a late frost and some heat spikes this summer. We were pleased to have a bountiful crop for Sauv Blanc, Malbec, and Cab, normal yields in all others with the exception of Zin - which was a smaller crop than last year, but still great looking fruit! For more pics, videos, and updates, please follow us on Insta, Facebook, and X/Twitter. |
