From Ages Past......since the grape was first valued by man, he has experimented, with the assistance of nature, to improve this good creation of God. Tarry awhile, allowing the Seventh Ray of light to do it’s work. Hopefully, in the near future, all of man will evolve beyond wine, to drinking the whole of spirit from the cup of the Seventh Ray. A sparkling, effervescent, violet and golden tinged cup of light, capable of transmuting man’s more earthly desires by a sudden alchemy into the pure perfection of his natural being
