The one on the left was a birthday gift in 2019 from our friends Raymond and Jeanne. Raymond got it in South America on his return from a trip to Easter Island.

The one on the right was a gift from a graduate student and his family as he graduated with a master’s degree in economics in 2011. He subsequently earned an MBA and at last notice, was working in sales. The bottle of wine came with a thank you-note on a funny greeting card, which I am saving. But empty wine bottles?

@marlboromaam Before I went to the dark side (reds), a favorite was Piesporter Michelsburg, also a favorite of my mom's, I think. I may have to get some Zeller Schwarze Katz for our family members whose preferences run to the sweeter side — thanks for the implicit suggestion!
@rhoing Yeah? Well, what I drink with dinner almost everyday is a glass of white zinfandel - Livingston with the screw off cap - in the BIG green bottle. LOL!
