12 medals…count ‘em!
I need to take a moment and applaud my friend Allen Dossey in Paducah. Mr. Dossey is the mind behind Purple Toad Winery. Last week Purple Toad won 12 medals at the 2012 Kentucky Derby Wine Competition including a gold medal for their newly released Moscato. That’s certainly impressive and worth celebrating. Congratulations, Allen! Now send some Moscato to the Barns!
