bluegargantuaHey,
I got a package from my mom with smaller packages inside here are the rules.
So it's day 2 and I open up the package and find:
The Item:
It's a bottle of Elderberry Juice from a local vineyard.
So I'll open today's envelope...
The Message:
"Taste and see that the Lord is GOOD!!"
Huh, I didn't realize the Lord was made of Elderberries.
But yeah, there's a winery in my hometown. It's a fairly recent business as small rural towns look for boutique products to draw in tourism/business. Apparently they've branched out into specialty berry juice as well. It's actually got a pretty nice selection of stuff (along with products from other Nebraska wineries).
The winery is called Cedar Hills because that's the local evergreen species -- cedar pines. Our pasture is fairly thick with them (my Dad always regrets not making me go out during the summer to thin them out when I was younger). Oh, and while it's a type of pine tree, it makes a pretty terrible Christmas tree as we all discovered to our chagrin one year. It seemed like a good idea at the time: free tree, right from our property, but the structure of the needles just aren't the same and it left a huge mess everywhere. So we went back to buying them from the dealer in town the next year.
Anyway, elderberry juice...along with a pamphlet showing how rich in anti-oxidants it is. That's Nebraska, always about 5 years behind in the latest health fads.
