can I find this wine at Majestic Liquor store in Dallas, on NW Hwy? I do not know how to check their selections of wine. Had it in Portland and Seattle, love it!!! Please let me know if possible in the morning. Early!!! Having a party Wed. aft. late!!!!
SUSAN VERBAGE  10/28/2008 
{Thanks for the inquiry. You know, I wish I could be everywhere--in every liquor store and restaurant in every state of this great country. But, alas, there's just not enough of me to go around. Am I at the Majestic in Dallas? Call them, they'll know. And if they don't have me there ask them to order a few cases from their local distributor, Southern Wine and Spirits. You'll be doing your fellow Texans a great service. Let me know how it goes.}


Dear Meditrina, how was your party at the winery? Did Apollo show up? I loved seeing the photos from last year.
ELIZABETH  10/21/2008 
{It was fabulous - of course! Apollo was there, and dashing as always. Thanks to everyone who was there to celebrate a spectacular day in honor of moi!}


does this wine contain sulphites?
MARINA  10/09/2008 
{Yes, we do use sulfites in the form of SO2 during the winemaking process. Sulfites naturally occur in all wines, and we add just a little bit more as a stabilizer and preservative in Meditrina.}


How was the Roman empire cut in half? With a pair of Ceasars!

Howdy dude-E! Anyone posting anything yet?
MICHAEL BROWN  09/20/2008 
{Let's get this Meditrina party started!}


Can Meditrina be served over ice? And, is Meditrina single? And, if so, will she go out with me on a date?
DUPRE  09/19/2008 
{Meditrina wine can be enjoyed in any method the drinker sees fit - in moderation! Also, the papers are saying that Meditina and Apollo are an "item"... so court Meditrina the goddess at your own risk!}

Appetizer Recipe
I just need an appetizer recipe that goes with your wine - please? Thanks.
SUE   09/02/2008 
{How about Mini Grilled Ham and Cheese sandwiches? Simply use cocktail rye bread, spread butter and your favorite mustard on each slice. Add a baked ham slice and a slice of gruyere or comté cheese and a dollop of sauerkraut. Grill in a pan until both sides are golden brown. Serve with a glass of Meditrina! Delicious!}

why it’s great to be a goddess
-Flowing robes are so comfortable!
-The whole “bringing mortal men to their knees” bit.
-Offerings, offerings, offerings.
-Can you think of a better job than being generally divine?

a joke
Why did Julius Caesar buy crayons?
He wanted to Mark Antony

an ode to Meditrina
Whenever I drink this wine
I long for ancient Roman times
Chariots and coliseums
Julius, Augustus, I can almost see 'em.
The Ides of March and Nero's fiddle
The mighty Tibor through the middle.
I wish I was a Goddess then
Worshipped by all women and men.
I'd hang all day with Meditrina
My Goddess name would be Katrina.
She'd advocate both health and wine
I'd be the Goddess of where to dine.
Oh how I wish to make my home
Up in the skies of ancient Rome.
BROOKS  08/01/2008 

a joke
Meditrina and Isis walk into a wine bar. Isis says, "Why don't you order the wine, since you ARE the goddess of wine and health they might give you a discount." Meditrina retorts back, "What are you, the goddess of cheapskates?"
JOHN  08/01/2008 

a joke
What did the goddess say to her boyfriend?
"Does this aura make me look fat?"
LIN  08/01/2008 

a dirty joke
Why did the goddess have to change her toga?
She may be divine, but those pulled pork sandwiches are MESSY!

a wonderful wine at a wonderful place
I just tried the new Meditrina 5 on a recent trip to Crater Lake with my husband and Mom. We had brought a bottle along to sip while gazing out across that blue, blue lake, and there was no better match! Beautiful view, great company, and Meditrina... I felt like the goddess of the universe.
CHARLOTTE  08/01/2008 

our family game
My daughter brought a bottle of Meditrina 5 to dinner at my house last weekend, it was a perfect complement to our impromptu dinner of pizza and salad. After we finished the bottle, we played an old family game of "how many drops are left", by laying the bottle on it’s side for a while, then guessing how many drops will come out when it's tipped upside down. The winner is usually excused from clearing the table after dinner, but since it was just pizza boxes and wine glasses we all pitched in! We had such a good time, I think in the future we'll christen the winner of our game "god or goddess of lucky wine drops" in Meditrina’s honor.

Dear Meditrina
What is your favorite color?
SALLY  08/01/2008 
{Quinacridone Red, of course.}

Dear Meditrina
What's your favorite food?
SOPHIE  08/01/2008 
{That’s a tough question because I like just about everything. If you mean favorite food to go with my wine, I’d have to say, at the end of the day, a good piece of meat. A flat iron steak, for instance. Of course, I’m a sucker for pasta, being from Italy and all. Which reminds me of a joke. Back in the late 80’s when Tommy Lasorda was managing the L.A. Dodgers baseball team, he also ran a chain of restaurants bearing his name. Well, the Dodgers traded for a shortstop named Alfredo Griffin. So Griffin reports to the team and after settling in for a few days he tells Lasorda that he’s going to try the manager’s restaurant in Marina del Rey. “What do you suggest I order, Tommy?” Lasorda’s reply? “That’s a no-brainer…..Fettuccine, Alfredo.}

Dear Meditrina
Where do you live?
KELLY  08/01/2008 
{Where all Roman gods and goddesses live; in the clouds above Rome. Though, lately I’ve been spending a lot of time in the Dundee Hills of Oregon. I’m thinking of putting up a yurt.}

Dear Meditrina
What's up with that Bacchus dude? You seem much nicer than him, but he sure gets a lot of attention.
SHANIN  08/01/2008 
{Well, Shanin, throughout history debauchery has always sold better than moderation. And Bacchus is all about debauchery. The tide is turning, however, and the subjects of Earth will be hearing a lot more about me and my ‘philosophy’ in the future.}

Dear Meditrina
Do you have a pet peeve?
PRUE  08/01/2008 
{People who use the word peeve.}

Dear Meditrina
Do you have a boyfriend? Cause I think you’re cute.
JASON  08/01/2008 
{I’m currently dating the Greek god Apollo. As the god of prophecy, music, intellectual pursuits, healing, plague, and sometimes, the sun, he’s quite the catch. He’s also quite the handful and has an ego on him the size of Texas. In case it doesn’t work out, I’ll get in touch.}

Dear Meditrina
Are those vines you wear on your head comfortable? Cause they look kind of scratchy.
KRISTIN  08/01/2008 
{Depends on what kind of hair day I’m having. Good hair day, I don’t feel a thing. Bad hair day, they get all scratchy. Some vines might have thorns. In that case, I hire a thorn plucker. It’s well worth the coin.}
