Welcome to Cloud Frickin' 9. This is where people go after they've pressed their last load of grapes for the year. Every year I go from Cloud Frickin' 9 to Mexico with stops at Corky Cellars and George's Wine Shoppe on the way. I feel like Lap Dance Jon did when he found out that the Nanny wasn't pregnant with his child. Below are pictures of the last load of grapes. This has been the best harvest we've ever had.
Thanks to all of you that came out to visit me at my two tastings last weekend. Friday night I was at D&W Fine Wines in Bonney Lake and Saturday night I was at Vino Bello in Burien. I sincerly meant to snap some pictures of both places for you to see, but like last week at Fremont Wine Warehouse, I spaced.
After the tasting at Vino Bello I went out with a few friends in West Seattle, an area where I spent my formidable years. I've seen some very spectacular things in my day. I witnessed Gaylord Perry win his 300th game. I saw the fall of the Berlin Wall. I even remember astronauts landing on the moon. But the most incredible thing I've ever witnessed is the parallel parking job that my friend Linda did Saturday night. I snapped a picture of it but for some reason the photo came out blurry. Linda, that was truly amazing. I could die tomorrow and feel like I've seen it all.
We've got Library Tasting coming up, along with Thanksgiving Open House. If you have any questions fire me an email. By the way, we're getting very close to being out of Gold Medal Winning '06 Cabernet Franc. Get some. The '07 will be dedicated to Linda.
Nice parking, Husum!
Joel
