If you are up in Johnson City there are 3 things that you have to do. This is #1 of the 3. We…read morestopped in here a while back because the sign said "Wine Tasting." We were greeted by a surly old man that asked us if we were there to "taste" wine or just to drink it. I assume that he could see the confusion on our faces, so he explained that if we just wanted to drink it, he would pour us some and let us do that, but if we wanted to "taste" it he would put us through his "Wine 101 Course." We, obviously, chose to taste. He proceeded to walk us through the reasoning for swirling the glass, how to properly smell the wine, the proper way to taste it and a few other steps to get the full experience and pick out all of the little nuances of the wine. It was very informative and we really enjoyed it, and learned to appreciate wine even more. He has a "Wine 201" as well, but I don't think I am ready to disappoint him by failing that course yet.

And they have rotating art installations, some of which were just uber cool when we stopped in (please see pics). The proprietor's Warren and his wife (sorry, I didn't get her name) were very welcoming and took time to show us around. We will definitely be back! Wine and art without pretentiousness. Yee haw!!!

The mystery was finally solved when we went to Debra Goldstein Fine Art, thanks to Debra herself. She explained the Sculpture Ranch to us that we'd seen, and this crazy art mansion we'd passed in Stonewall, too. She even took us out in the backyard to see this 3 ton (that's 6000 lbs, readers!) dripped bronze sculpture by Mr. Johann Eyfells that he had put in Debra's backyard with a helicopter. He moved out to Johnson City about eight years ago when his wife Kristen died and never returned to their shared city of New York. How beautifully tragic. Thanks for solving the mystery, Debra, and for the brownies! It was great to meet you! The collection of chairs as art is also fabulous.

The owner greeted us, gave us some history of the building, and told us they have been in business 26 years!
