Thank you to all who emailed to make sure I'm okay. Last week I was very busy with bottling and this week I've been busy with spring break activities. Lots of people who visited the tasting room this week had the pleasure of meeting our newest employee, Ryan. I don't know what to think of Ryan as an employee. He showed up on time, hosted hundreds of people with a pleasant attitude, labeled several pallets of wine and cleaned the winery. I don't see a future around here for someone like that. If there was ever a time in that last ten years when I was close to giving up my "Employee of the Month" parking spot, it would have to be now. Ryan just barely missed recieving the award, so for the moment, my streak of 125 consecutive months continues. Better luck next month, Ryan.
We are only a week away from offering our new chardonnay, late harvest chenin blanc and '05 tempranillo. If you have already purchased futures on these wines stay tuned for the exact release date.
The annual Wind River Cellars Barrel Club Dinner is coming up in two weeks. This is where we host a private catered dinner for our barrel members and give them the opportunity to taste any barrel, tank or bottle they want. That's close to 200 wines. If you are interested in becoming a barrel member give us a call.
Check out the website for other upcoming events. Fungi with the Fun Guy (mushroom festival), Running with the bulls, and the WRC golf tourny are right around the corner.
You helped me get thru the winter, Husum.
