There are three things that man needs to survive. They are music, chili, and football. This past weekend I was treated to all three. Friday night I tagged along with Hollywood, Poison Rose and a few of their buddies to the Everclear concert in Portland, Saturday we hosted the annual Husum Chili Club Chili Cook-Off and Sunday, well, Sunday is the most sacred of all days. Typically Superbowl Sunday here at the winery is very old fashioned and traditional. We wake up and sing Superbowl carols, dance around the Superbowl tree and then exchange Superbowl gifts. This year Hollywood and P.R. had snowboard races so we had to celebrate later in the day. (BTW-they recieved silver and gold medals respectively.)
The chili cook-off was a lot of fun as usual. We had a great turn out. Congrats to the creators of "Harry's Chili". They seemed to have won by a landslide. (Though there were some suspicious circumstances) Last year's winner, Savannah Story made a respectable second place showing. As usual, the chili cook-off was a great time and continues to be one of my favorite events here at Wind River Cellars. Check our website for future events.
Speaking of future events, we will be hosting a port celebration soon. Originally the event was going to be held in December but if you'll remember I awoke to six inches. (Check blog archive for details) Once again we will be offering an amazing deal on our award winning Port of Celilo.
As I posted a few weeks ago, we are very low on our '04 Pinot Noir. Get it now while it's still around. I just may offer a special discount for anyone that gets thru the mudbog that is our driveway. FREE CARWASH WITH EVERY CASE PURCHASE.
I still have a lot of blending to do. Come on up and put your two cents in. I don't like to taste alone. (Though I'll do it anyway)
I love you just for the commercials, Husum!
