Saturday after Thanksgiving was absolutely beautiful. We still had a few residual guests from the shindig and I was excited that they were able to see the Mt. Hood view from the winery. Great day, lots of fun people and lots of wine poured. Hell, I even enjoyed the 50 people that pulled up in the huge passenger bus late in the day. Saturday was a great day. The picture below shows what I woke up to Sunday morning. I didn't even shower and I barely made it outside to clean up from the day before. Rather than take the opportunity to use the needed spare time for topping barrels, racking chardonnay and blending '05 Pinot Noir, I dedicated the time to the person I love more than anyone else. ME. My ass sat on the couch all day. It was great!
This week I have to head to Seattle for perhaps my favorite tasting of the year in one of my favorite bottle shops. I will be pouring wine at Corky Cellars in Des Moines on Saturday. Come on in and say hi. Ric and Diane always have good snacks and you know how I love to pour.
You keep me snowed in, Husum!
