It is like Christmas in the blogosphere! Every where I turn, I’m abundant with content, content, content.

I was truly impressed with the passion and resolve the partners had in making their vintner dreams come to life and ultimately thrive. I love a good success story that inspires and I also learned that I like eating the crushed grapes out of the vats of primary fermentation. Who knew? Sadly, another missed opportunity to ride tandem on bicycletta as I rode shotgun in rental car. But Jeff did refrain from yelling vehement profanities at other drivers who were either disabled, elderly or loosely affiliated with a food kitchen or animal rescue organization. Let the good times roll….just not through a stop sign.
Stay curious!

What if instead of moving back East to be with my now wife, I had convinced her to move back to the West Coast?
Then I start thinking about it more and I realize (or rationalize) that I am an East Coaster at heart—I love the grit, the attitude, the…
