9/7/09 - Altus - Arkansas Wine Region

Oops! Got this a bit out of sequence.
9/7/09. From Route 7, we went west on I40, to the tiny town of Altus, the wine region of Arkansas. This isn't Napa!
We pulled in Monday evening, after riding all day, timing our entrance to align just perfectly with a very wet rainstorm. 2 miles from Altus, we had to pull over and quickly put on our rainsuits, getting a bit wet in the process.
We visited http://www.wiederkehrwines.com/ just in time for the harvest.

Terry tried some of their wine back at the drinkhaus (oops, they're of Swiss extraction .. ordered here in 1880 by the local monks). Vinegar ... from Terry's palate.
