For those of you who have been waiting for the return of Wind River Cellars Riesling, your wait is almost over. Right now you can come up and taste the '06 vintage out of the tank. It should be available by the annual Thanksgiving weekend open house.
Friday we had an event at the Cider House for all Insitu Employees. Insitu designs and builds remote control airplanes that are capable of doing everything from patroling our country's borders to finding schools of tuna in the ocean. I wonder if they can build me one that can find my wallet and car keys. Anyway, thanks to all of you who came out Friday.
Saturday I had to drive to Seattle for a tasting at George's Wine Shoppe in Bellvue. For those of you who live on the east side, this is a hidden treasure. Every Saturday George hosts a tasting. All you have to do is drop in and taste. Great casual atmosphere has catapulted this shop into my top five. I can't wait to go back.
Today I did a tasting for a group in Camas. Even though Camas isn't the same anymore without Fitzgerald's Fine Wines, I did enjoy the shrimp platter.
I head back to Seattle on Thurday for several tastings. I'll let you know where before I leave. Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday I will be pressing off the last of our 2006 vintage.
We just scheduled a tasting at Bonneville Hot Springs Resort for January 6, 2007. I want to invite all of you fun people to book a room and attend. The tasting will only last an hour or two but the lounge will be open until we leave. Bonneville has been awesome to our local wine industry and will definitely show all of us a great time. We're telling you now because we want LOTS of people there.
Don't forget about our library tasting the Sunday before Thanksgiving. This gives you a chance to taste every wine we've every made. Ten varieties for ten years? I'm going to need one of those smart Insitu employees to tell me how many wines that is.
You keep me flying, Husum!
Joel
