Are you there God, it's me, Joel. I got bud break today. (I know this reference is obscure. If you understand it, email me and let me know that it's as funny as I think it is.) The vineyard has finally begun to grow in 2008 which means I'll have to take care of it. If you would like to come out and adopt a vine I'll let you name it.
This past week has been a lot of fun in the tasting room. Saturday reminded me of showing up for a blind date, coincidentally meeting the wrong person, and having a great time anyway. Kris told me a group was coming in at 1:00 and that they purchased a VIP tasting in the cellar at a charity auction. We try and make these private tastings as fun as possible and they usually include barrel tasting and light snacks. Well, a group showed up promptly at 1:00. I gave them the full barrel tasting experience and pumped them full of gourmet cheeses. They were a lot of fun and I enjoyed everyone of them but they weren't the group that purchased the private tasting. That group showed up at 3:00. The screw up was 100% Kris's fault. 0% mine. That is rewarding in itself. Luckily, the real group was a blast also and brought their own appetizers.
This Thursday I will be pouring at Wine Alley in Renton. If you have nothing going on come on down and say hi. Saturday I will be pouring at a fund raiser for the University of Washington Marching Band. I believe this event is open to the public. If you are interested in more details please contact us.
