The day before Thanksgiving I was in the liquor store thinking to buy some holiday wine. While discussing various wines with the owner I happened to notice a display in the center of the store that featured a large lighthouse. I think there were bottles of something sticking out of it. Anyway I said to the owner, "Oh, you even have a lighthouse in here!"
He asked me if I was into lighthouses, explaining that his wife was and had decorated a room in their summer cottage on Lake Whateveritwas with pictures, figurines and other lighthouse stuff.
Then I said, "Oh, do you have Harbour Lights?" When he started to walk away I began to think I had said something wrong???
When I followed him I saw that he had gone back to the wine section and grabbed a bottle off the shelf to show me and what do you think it was?
Bully Hill Vineyards in Hammondsport, New York makes a dry white table wine called (you guessed it) Harbour Lights. The artistic label features a drawing of Nubble Light on the front and has a history of the light on the back.
At this point I started laughing as he had no idea that I was still speaking of the lights at Lake Whateveriswas.
So I learned about the wine and he learned about HL's!
(Yes, I bought a bottle. Now how many of you have a bottle of wine in
your curio?
