SNOW HAS STOPPED. ROAD IS CLEAR. WINE IS PLENTIFUL.
I had no idea how hard core competitive you people are when it comes to chili. With the snow, we were ready to postpone the 7th Annual WRC Chili Cook-Off but dozens of you wouldn't allow it. For several years Husum local, Gary Johannson has been chasing the trophy. He has always finished in the top 4 or 5 but this year he finally took the top prize. Congrats to Gary. This was our smallest turnout in the seven years but I was still blown away by how many of you still made it.
Kris is hauling 13 year-old son, "Hollywood" to Italy for his birthday on Thursday. They'll be gone for a few weeks which means my younger son and I will be ordering a lot of pizzas.
President's Day Weekend we will be releasing 4 new wines. This is always a fun weekend to come up, taste wine and roam the cellar. I've been known to throw out some snacks also.
This coming weekend we welcome the return of former Employee of the Month Runner-Up, Ryan, who has been taking some very needed time off. Ryan will be pouring wine in the tasting room and we all know how much he likes to pour big samples.
You're the real Superbowl Champions, Husum!
