 .......the finer taste of the Islip

  Hi!  I'm Tate.  And welcome to my vineyard.  I designed this site for fun and to share some of my surroundings and information with my friends and family.   Feel free to walk through the vineyard pages and pick from my vines of information.   I think you will find the information as interesting as I did.  Not only see how our ancestors tried to bottle such excellent wines but, also what they went through to be able to do it legally.  Be sure to stop by my shop before you leave and take an imaginary taste test.  It will taste like you aren't even there!
     Thanks again for visiting.

Dionysus, Greek God of Wine
Dionysus, Greek God of Wine
Dionysus, also known as Bacchus, was the Greek god of wine and was celebrated in annual festivals. In Bacchus and Ariadne, painted between 1518 and 1522 by the Venetian artist Titian and hanging in the National Gallery, London, Dionysus is shown with Ariadne, whom he married.

To bottle is great. But to drink it...is even BETTER!
