RICH VARGO, THE VINTNER

Yesterday I discovered a new treasure in an old friend…a vintner with extraordinary talent and skill…Rich Vargo. I don’t pretend to be a wine connoisseur, but I do know an excellent glass of wine when I taste it. And his is excellent and the kind I much prefer over other labels. It is fruity and full-flavored with a perfect degree of sweetness. He raises his own grapes and fruit for his several varieties of wines, ages and bottles them just like the professional he is. He even encases the corks in his special wax seals. I’ve been treated to some very expensive wine in my lifetime, but I don’t think I enjoyed any as much as I did that glass of Rich’s wine yesterday. It was a perfect. And there isn't anything that I know of that this guy can't do. No wonder that kindergarten teacher married him.
