Early Spring Produce from Maltby


The local produce was on display today at Flower World's Maltby Market, and I stopped by for some lovely tomatoes, cabbage, and large green peppers.

I also bought a bottle of a local wine from the Maralblis Estate Winery called Rhubard-Orange-Raisin Wine, fermented with tea. This was too unusual go pass by. I'll let you know what it was like.

Here is what was written on the label: "Are you listening? We did. At first, it is really hard to understand what the vines are saying, because plants speak a different language. Now, after 50 years of listening, we have learned a great deal and are ready to share this wine with you. Our grapevines are speaking 'terroir" (meaning sense of place), the language they speak when growing in their own little part of the earth. Now you can share in the fruit of their knowledge through the fruits of their labor. Earth is for all of us--be good to it."
