What to do on a rainy Sanibel-Captiva day

Rain Rain Rain and more rain.
What better way to spend a rainy day than with a glass of tropical wine. If you visit Sanibel Tropical Wines in The Village Shops on Periwinkle Way, you can,
#1 taste before you buy and
#2 purchase a bottle of thier 100% Florida Citrus Grower approved wine!

Remember, a century before the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth Rock...Three hundred years before California became a state...wine was being made in Floirda!

This week they have 10% -50% off select items and they have interesting wine accessories in their store. ON SALE is their Mamma Guava wine while supplies last.

Mango Mamma & Hurricane Class 5 (white sangria type) come in adult sippy pouches which are great at the pool because they don't break!
