One Happy Camper

I must say I am in a pretty good mood. It has always been my practice to write newsletters with a nice bottle of wine. This time it is the 07 Tempranillo. I feel rested and relaxed after my vacation to Brazil. I know what you are thinking, how nice Brazil, and you would be correct. My wife and daughter stayed down for a few extra weeks with family. So I am also pleased to have them home. My daughter changes so quickly at this age. If I blink I miss so much.
It is the same with our wines. That is why I am happy after visiting our barrel room earlier this afternoon. The wines are blossoming and becoming beautifully complex. If you would like to catch up with our wines there are plenty of exciting events coming up over the next few months.
