Rapazini in Gilroy, CA, makes a wide selection of unusual and specialty
wines, along  with Cabernet, Zinfandel, etc.  Among the specialty wines
are:

    Mead        - I like it best when it's been heated like Sake.

    Ambrosia    - Very sweet,  very  romantic.  A glass  each  will
                  do for two for most of an evening's "spooning".

    Apri___(?)  - An apricot-based desert wine.  Good after a heavy
                  meal  or  on  a hot  afternoon.   Sorry  I  can't
                  remember the whole name.

    Garlic Wine - Yup. Wine from garlic (Gilroy is, after all, "The
                  Garlic Capitol of the World").  It's claimed that
                  there is no aftertaste,  but,  while I found this
                  wine tasty in the drinking, it stayed with me for
                  hours afterwards.  Someday,  I'll try using it in
                  a sauce for fish - bet that'd be great!

Rapazini's Tasting Room is just  South of Gilroy on Highway 101 next to
Mirasou's Tasting Room.  You *should* be able  to get mail to them via:

            Rapazini Winery, Highway 101, Gilroy, CA.
