The weather was fantastic, not a cloud in the sky so we did a little
foraging for adult beverages. Cape May NJ is certainly not the Napa
Valley but does have a half dozen wineries in the area.

First stop was Willow Creek Winery
https://willowcreekwinerycapemay.com/

This place is well off the main roads and you'd never find it just
riding by, but a little search and the local tourist maps get you to it.
We each had a flight of three wines. We just sat at a table in the sun
and enjoyed, but lunch is available. I finished mine but Joan did not
finish hers

Neither of us liked the red as it lacked body. we both liked one of the
whites, the others were a bit bland.

Next stop was Nauti Spirits. We were there last Saturday and they had
lots going on. I bought a bottle each of the two gins and we left. We
drank some later and since I'll be taking mine home, Joan wanted to get
a bottle for her lace for her bays to try when they come down. Today it
was just a few people so we taste tested the two bourbons they offered
first. They were OK, but not as good as the big players. The 4 year
ages was good, but not for the $90 price. I would have bought a bottle
for about $30 or so but not triple that. She bought her gin and we
headed to the bar.

We each had an Old Fashioned but we had each made with a different
bourbon. They were good. We took a sip and headed outside with them to
sit in the sun again. Oh, she bought me a new hat from there too

They we came home and I helped with dinner. Grilled chicken thighs,
roasted potatoes, green beans.

So I came from Florida to New Jersey to sit in the sun and get a tan.
Heading back on Wednesday.

When you get back you can crow, "I'm from Joisey!" and flounce
your Joisey Gin!

Joisy Gin has a nice ring to it. They should change the name and
capitalize on it.

Golly!
That sounds like a great day.
Thanks for sharing.

You're right - I'm calling "first use trademark". Heck, here in
Austin we have a "TIT-oh'S" vodka that outsells all other vodkas
in the U.S.
