Nice fruit, good colors and flavors, perfect sugars and pHs,…should make the 2010 vintage one to anticipate.  As some of you know, Tom is home recovering from his recent surgery but we were able to finish harvest strong and without a hitch thanks to Lynn, Marcial, our amazing kids, Cait and Em, along with Travis, Jacob and our own newest little “cellar mouse” Quinnlynn!  Awesome friends and neighbors helped us with our Fall activities andHarvest Festival celebrations and our “Pitmaster Playoffs” fundraiser for Supplies for Soldiers and the American Cancer Society…thank you, Shauna, Becky, Heather, Jac, Dave, Steve and all our other many, many friends.”

Rio Seco’s WINE  CLUB shipments were delayed a bit due to their circumstances but are now on the way just in time for the holidays!  Check your credit card statements and call the winery if you have questions or if you need to update your credit card information.  The new ’06 Cabernet Franc and ’06 Syrah are very good and are becoming some of our personal favorites.  They are open daily so local pick-ups are always appreciated.  Speaking of the upcoming holidays, wine always makes a perfect gift – hope you will keep Rio Seco in mind if they can help you with your gift-giving needs.  Always love to play Santa!

Being Thankful for What You Have!

/in , /by

Greetings Wine Linos,

I rarely express my personal opinions here.  I would much rather let you know what is going on in the wonderful world of Paso Robles’ Wine Country; because there is so much here to relish!

That being said, tomorrow is an extremely meaningful, and my favorite, holiday.  It is a day of saying thanks.  There is no pretense, no pomp & circumstance, no gift exchange, just friends and family coming together and sharing their love for one another.

It is a day when I try to focus on what I have, rather than, what I have not.  I could go on ad nauseum, but a few things for which I am extremely thankful are: for knowing, being raised and educated and loved by Sue & Jean Westfall (I miss you) and by Floyd Gaugh III (and importantly that I still have you), the loving rest of my family, Rudi (my 10yr old Staffordshire Terrier), my dear, dear friends,  the little B (my Godson), my 5 senses, music, art, wine, Paso Robles wine, and, I am truly thankful, for my customers….

Again, I could go on and on, but you get the picture.

I wish you all a wonderful, fulfilled and extremely Happy Thanksgiving!

Until the next drop.
