You have no idea how happy I am to be back home to Husum. As mentioned in the last blog entry, the family and I had to go to So. Cal for some official winery business. You barrel members have met Bruce at our annual Barrel Club Dinner. His son turned 13, and though Camden is still 8 years away from legal drinking age, I felt it was important to begin the recruiting process now. If I continue to recruit Camden hard I think he will mature to enjoy as much Wind River Cellars wine as his father. It was also nice to see Barrel Member Eric as well. Happy birthday Camden! You other barrel members need to pick up the pace. Don't forget you all recieve a barrel tasting party for you and your friends as part of your barrel membership. Email me some dates before we get into harvest.
The Husum .1K Fun Run is the morning of July 4th. This will be a great way for you all to participate in something that will reward you with a sense of accomplishment, as well as give you a chance to pop up to the winery to taste our current releases. Register now!
EOTM, Ryan covered for Kris and I while we were in SoCal on official winery business. It looks like many of you read last weeks blog and took my advice. From the stories I've heard nobody was disappointed. Ryan poured generous samples and treated many visitors to barrel tastings. He recalls the two gals from Chicago and the people from New York as his favorites of the weekend. You can also sign up to win a dream date with EOTM runner-up, Ryan at the Husum .1K Fun Run. I don't know what he likes to do on a date but I know he'll bring the wine.
I hope to see you all on the 4th of July. Keep it safe. Maybe even keep one of those buckets of water handy.
You make me bleed red, white and blue, Husum!
Joel
