Yes, I know about Pearmund- but there were three other bottles of wine that were auctioned together. These were different labels… Sid & Sue got the ones from Pearmund; they emailed me last night. So we're all still looking!! :) They thought Laura Gilcrest brought the wine this year...?

BDawg…I'll do some search and send an email to a friend who is a wine "expert" and see if he knows. If you find out the names of the wines, will you post them here as I'd like to get some as well. thx!

Yes!! As soon as anyone finds out the name of the wine or the vineyard, post for all to see! :D That would be such a good Christmas present!!

Okay, Harris Teeter here did not carry the Basenji label the Redmund's Reserve. :( Darn Harris Teeter, I am calling the winery and just ordering it from them. BDawg, they should not be that far from you are they? I know you are looking for a different label too though, right?

Bdawg-have you tried emailing LeeBeth or Iris?? They would probably know where they wine came from. They had the same bottles at the Fun Match in June too! Unfortunately I didn't get to win them either :(
Send me a PM if you don't have their email addresses.

I would definitely call any of the distributors before you go to the actual store… It will save you a trip if they don't carry that particular bottle.
I am still working on getting information about the other wine. Liz is the one with the info... Hopefully I'll get an email tonight... :)

Bdawg,
I got the single bottle of wine. The three pack went too high for me. The label says Happy Hound Cabernet Sauvignon California 2004. All the back label says is a fine wine from Sonoma California and then the warning. There is no winery listed. I searched all over the internet when I got home hoping to score some more of this but have had no luck.
The other winery - Pearmund is a very nice place to visit, and buy some wine, of course :)

Oh, I forgot, the single bottle I got had the same kind of label as the three pack so I'm assuming it's from the same winery. I have a lot of wine in my basement and all of them have the winery name on them. Strange that this one doesn't. Unless Happy Hound is the name of the winery…...

You can make your own custom wine label… Then you can put your B's pics on it... You can save money by buying any wine (even 1) then sticking your own custom wine label on it...
Here's one place to get instructions (in there, scroll down to "wine labels") on how to create your own wine label… For the paper, you'll need a full-sheet sticker paper (that's compatible with your printer i.e. deskjet, inkjet, etc)... You can get it at an office supply store (Office Depot, Staples, etc)...
It's pretty easy and a fun project --> with your B helping you out! :D

That makes sense. There's a little camera logo in the lower right corner of the label.

Good idea - make your own labels. That way, you can pick your favorite wine and serve your guests. It'll show them your B(s) have good taste and class. ;)

I got an email back from Pearmund Winery. They will ship here to CA. I'm going to call tomorrow and order some red and white. I am not a wine drinker myself–but this will be great for when I have guests over. I'll tell them Tyler and Zoey picked the wine :D

I called and ordered two boxes of the Redmund's Candy Cane box which is one bottle of red and one bottle of white with a candy cane and you save $5 because seperate they are $15.00 each. They are going to make great presents for our neighbors and the dog sitter.
When I called the woman I spoke with asked me if it was normal for a Basenji to hunt deer because Redmund their Basenji had gone after a doe and shortly after that he went after a buck! :eek:
I told her to check out the Basenji Forum, hopefully she will join :)

Well of course he went after the buck - Redmond has to get paid for his services doesn't he :D

That sounds great for Xmas!! I'm glad you mentioned that. One of my gifts will be going to Karen and Chuck (don't anyone tell them!) who have the basenji rescue shelter in SoCal. I got Tyler and Zoey from them earlier this year. I already have a cute photo in a frame that has painted on it–Tyler and Zoey Together Forever--but this wine will be a fun gift too.

I heard them talking about that at the party. The Basenji didn't kill the deer, but almost. They had to have the deer put down.
Don't ever underestimate a Basenji.;)

My little Max (24 lbs) did the same to a full grown racoon years ago….and Max didn't have even a scratch on him....I started putting the dog door down at night after that.....

He may be a little Max, but everytime I see his picture he reminds me of my Big Max.:)
It is amazing what they can do and could you imagine what a pack of say five or six could do????

It is amazing, I almost didn't believe it when she said it because Zahra is so small that I can't imagine it.
