The legend of Purple Cowboy Wines: The cowboy met the old man who brought him some cuttings in a damp burlap sack. The old man said plant these in the valley where the fog comes at dusk and the soil is stony and no good for anything else. And someday you'll have some fine dark wine. So dark that it turns your teeth to purple. Now you can enjoy the legend of Purple Cowboy Wines in your own home or gift them to really make an impression while supporting breast cancer. Purple Cowboy Wines supports "Tough Enough to Wear Pink and The Fight Against Breast Cancer" and they will donate 1 dollar for every bottle sold. And at 12.99 per bottle you can gift two to a friend, and keep a bottle or two for yourself. You can find Purple Cowboy Wines at http://www.purplecowboy.com/index.html.
