Bully Hill wine ? ! What I hoot! I grew up about 5 miles from this vineyard.. how funny to see it in blogland. by the way, there are other varieties by this vineyard that are much better :-)

Love the mittens too, BTW..

I love the menage a trois stuff!

Love the mittens!

I like that "scary google search" wine too. Bought my first bottle a couple weeks ago. =)

If you are interested in sheepy themed wines, check out the ones by Dyed in the Wool / "unchangeable". A google search will come up w/ some urls for ya!

Have you ever had "Forty-Pound Rooster" Pinot Noir? Yum!

Norma was awfully circumspect this time around...last time I tried that, she wrote what I had avoided writing THREE times in the comments.

The mittens are beautiful. You do such great mittens.

Sandy... Great mittens.
I meant to tell you - there's a new person at one of the SnB's I go to and she's from Salem, MA Isn't that just near you?

I am in the Finger Lakes, and prefer Banty Red to Get Your Goat. http://www.bullyhill.com/descred.asp?id=18

Another sipper more on the sweet side is from Hazlitt and is called Red Cat. http://www.hazlitt1852.com/redcat.html

If you like a good barrel-aged chard, Treleaven can't be beat. They also do a limited Gewurtztraminer in the Alsation way. I also recommend Saumon as a good sipper.

Beth S (above me,) I am sorry you had such a terrible time in Ithaca. Once you get used to the winters, upstate NY isn't so bad :)

LOVE Brown Sheep NatureSpun Sport ... I made both HP scarves out of it, and they're so soft and wearing like iron.

Glad you got your mojo back. Sometimes all it takes is some color work and a good bottle of wine.

Ahhh, Bully Hill. It reminds me of our annual trip to our friend's Adirondack Great Camp.
And those mittens are great! I would like to try those with some handspun some time (except I need to make my handspun more even first, lol).

I posted a sky picture for you today. Hope you like it! Love that mitten!

Good grief! How can you knit those mittens and drink wine at the same time? If I tried that, I'd just have one big multicolored knot of yarn. That said, I love those mittens and I so wanted to make them when I saw them in IK. They're still on my list, but I'm feeling guilty about not making the Mission Falls mittens, so I have yet to buy the yarn.

heehee, we have the same billy goat wine on the shelf, i love the label.

Oooh, I love that mitten pattern. It's "the one" I'd been looking for. It's on my list of things to knit, I've got the yarn, now where's the time? I guess I just enjoy watching yours evolve instead.

We're knitting twins! I'm working on those mittens too!

Of course, we commenters could always foil your attempts at not putting the name in your blog by writing mena.. .... Oh,never mind!!!

I have some of that yarn sitting in my stash...perhaps I'll have to dig it out in another week or so. Thanks for singing it's praises and reminding me that it's there!

Nice looking mitten cuff! I'm making that same mitten, I have about half of one done...maybe I should get back to that!

Commented on your 1/23 post but didn't get around to doing it until 1/26. I was wondering whose sock was in the bag in the picture of Norma and if you know the pattern.

Oh, your mitten looks great!! I would definitely be afraid to put the name of that wine on your page - heh.

Hmm, a fiber-related wine name was inspirational... There's a French wine that has a sheep on it - it might be helpful,too. :)

If a little red wine is what it takes to get your knitting mojo back then drink the whole frickin' bottle!

It's always good to see Mojo brought on by a nice (ahem)(don't know the Old Goat as we don't have that one here) fine drop of Red!

Love my goat was the first red wine i ever had. Way to set the bar, eh? Those mittens look so cute! Enjoy!

I'd be afraid of the google hits too. *lol*

Ah-hah! Mittens! I knew you'd get your confidence back if you went with the mittens.

I love the colors against the dark background...so pretty!

Glad to hear you got your mojo back!

Funny. I thought it would be the Fat Bastard stuff, but yours is better for google hits for sure. Or worse. Depending on your perspective...

Aw, the whole point of Bully Hill is the fun bottle. Not the contents. ;-)

I spent two thoroughly miserable years in Ithaca, NY, and sampled ALL the local vintages. Extensively. There's a sweet white by Bully Hill that's not at all bad when you're in the mood for something of that nature. (Sweet, I mean.)
