We have a great one up here in Cleveland. John Christ winery has some great wine. I went there once with my boss and a coworker and had a great time. A bond fire, couple bottles of chardonnay, and a SLR Churchill made the night terrific.

Caudio, that night made me realize the importance of ambience on the taste of a cigar. That SLR smoked terrific that night. My boss enjoying his first habano was truely awesome. It's harder and harder for me to smoke a cigar just sitting by the PC at night. They just taste so much better with friends.

I have a friend of mine that has a winery here close by.
But since he is in a dry county, he cant sell it to drink there.

Tripp that was the weirdest thing about traveling down there. All these places to make alcohol but the counties are dry.

Minor threadjack here...

Since your place that you are moving to has alcohol. was that a factor in choosing it?

Would you move to a place that did not have it? What would be the pros and cons to you?

I post on a local message board as well and am in a debate about this issue.
Just want an opinion from someone moving in.

That dry county crap makes no sense to me from what I understand. Can you fill me in on the details.

So you can't sell alcohol in a particular county? What purpose does this serve?

Great question. I like my wine/beer and moving into a moist county was interesting. You have to understand Cleveland is mainly Catholic. They sell alcohol in K-Mart. They sell beer at local sub shops. Danville, doesn't sell alcohol in stores so that was an issue. They do let you have 2 beers before you have to buy food in a restaurant. Did it play a factor in my move...nah. I am used to going to sports bars to get my fix of the Steelers and beer. I will just have to get the NFL package and buy in bulk in Lexington. It was a minor problem for me. I respectfully disagree with legislating alcohol but hey that's their home. They have the right to do with it as they please.

One of our cigar buddys is the GM of this winery out of Ojai, CA. Mostly all organic wines. The wife says they are wondeful.

Amen to that!!!
It is so much more enjoyable sharing a drink and a smoke with friends!
It's like sex...it's OK alone, but much better when you share it with someone!:hysterica
