Let me begin by telling all of you how much fun I had pouring wine last Saturday afternoon at the Fremont Wine Warehouse. Fremont is the center of the universe and the Wine Warehouse is the center of Fremont. Owner Michael decided to focus on wines under $25 and judging from the number of people who came in, his shop should be a great success.
All grapes are in. Soon everything will be in the barrel and I'll be able to focus all of my attention on the WRC Holiday in Mexico. For those of you wondering, my new destemming/crushing system worked like a champ and I can't wait for all of you to taste the results in the coming months.
This weekend I will be pouring wine at D&W Wines in Bonney Lake on Friday night and Vino Bello in Burien on Saturday night. I've done tastings/bottle signings at both of these places before and had an absolute blast at both. Vino Bello will have live music. I usually limit my dancing to George's Wine Shoppe in Bellvue where a poll stands right in the middle of the room but if I can find a partner that likes to Tango you might see some of my hot moves. Speaking of George's, I'll be there on December 6th. George is very ashamed to admit that my poll dancing is hysterical. He'll roll his eyes and pretend to be annoyed but the way I work that poll is like a train wreck. You just can't help but watch.
Don't forget about our library tasting on the Sunday before Thanksgiving. I don't know of any other winery that does anything like this. Don't RSVP if you're not coming.
Come up for a visit. I'll show you my destemmer/crusher and then teach you my Tango moves.
Save the last dance for me, Husum!
Joel
