Strike Two

I missed last week blogging and am now posting this on Thursday evening instead of Tuesday morning.  No excuse.

Last Friday we did our innagural Journeys of Paul Wine Tasting.  It was awesome!  We traveled from Crete (where Paul left Titus) to Philippi, to Boerea, to Corinth, Athens, and Patras (where St. Andrew was killed).  We finished the tasting in Galilee with a fantastic Yarden Merlot and an incredible Golan Moscato that tasted like liquid sunshine!

One of the coolest things was the fact that we didn't drink much of the most popular American grape varieties.  We had Roditis and Savatiano grapes, St. George grapes, Kotsifali and Mantilaria grapes (indigenous to Crete), and many others.  It was fun to taste the very unusual flavors.

Wine + church + fun people = excellent time had by all!  Now I see why Jesus turned 180 gallons of water into wine and why he didn't just serve grape juice at the last supper.  :-)
