I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. No, not Wind River Cellars Holiday in Mexico, the end of harvest 2008. This has been a crazy week and I've been busier than a one legged man at an ass kicking contest. The only thing I'm still waiting on is Lemberger. In a year that is suppose to be down, I couldn't be happier with the quality.
Though there is still much work to be done in the cellar in the coming weeks, I'll be taking my show on the road for several tastings/bottle signings. The first one will be next Saturday November 8th in the People's Republic of Fremont at the Fremont Wine Warehouse (Seattle) This is a brand new wine shop that will host its grand opening with entertainment, food and me. If you need more details just drop me an email. The following Saturday I will make my return to Vino Bello in Burien. If you were not able to attend the last time I was there, let me just say that this is a great time. Check out Vino Bello's website and you'll get the vibe about this cool place.
Don't forget that our annual Library Tasting is coming up the Sunday before Thanksgiving. We open every bottle we've ever produced since 1995. We host this event to show our appreciation for the support you have given us over the last decade. If you've never had our wine don't come. We have nothing to appreciate you for. If you are planning on showing up to this event please RSVP. We probably won't charge anything to attend but we need to know how many of you are coming.
As many of you know, Thanksgiving weekend is a very popular time to visit local wine regions. I don't need to tell you how much the Columbia Gorge has to offer but if you would like to visit Wind River Cellars and have the smart ass winemaker take you and your friends through the cellar for a private barrel tasting please contact us. I can make it happen. I know people. I'm a big shot around here.
I'll update you soon on other upcoming events. Right now I have to make you wine.
Take it all, Husum!
Joel
