Things are quiet, and I like it that way. I have bottled the Rosé and I have been drinking regularly – in fact, I am drinking it as I write this, and it is delicious. –

Winter is a time for reflection, and in my case some rejoicing. After an acrimonious law suit (is there any other kind?) I have moved on, thanks to my foresight to purchase Directors & Officers Professional Liability, the annoyance was address by my insurance and not me personally. I learned a great deal, but I confess, it was a distraction for the last 2 years. I hope to ski a bit this year, and despite our current drought conditions, it is slated to snow this week and we are predicted to have a good dump. I'll post a picture of me skiing soon! Regarding my wine production; as with everyone, winter is a quiet time relative to harvest. I am evaluating the 2010 reds for any blending changes or possible aerative racking. Some of these wines will be bottled in late Spring and then stored at the warehouse to be released at a later date. I'll be working on an e-mail blast to release the wines, but feel free to order without provocation!
