So true, @Shay A I’d say DFW area is probably the no. 1 or 2 spot we’d choose if we ever do move (within Texas, that is). Happy New Year, my friend.

Côte Blonde Happy Canyon of Santa Barbara Syrah Blend 2017

Cracked this on Friday before our Christmas party. Then it was drinking like a Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir.

Diving off into this bad boy this afternoon and it seems to have changed a bit. It's almost like the alcohol increased. It's coming in a little hot on the front end. Mellows out quickly though. It's got a super rich meaty sensation to it that finishes with a little vanilla dancing on the tongue. Good stuff.

@Daniel Martinez-Cardenas CST... I had to get up early to watch my LSU Tigers kickoff at 10am... so it already feels like midnight.

Comtes de Champagne Grand Crus Brut Blanc de Blancs 2005

Sayonara, 2021!! You brought periods of joy and excitement, apprehension and challenge, intense sorrow and grief; a panoply of emotions spanning the spectrum of the human experience…

So, we’re putting one foot in front of the other, crossing the threshold into 2022 with hearts full of gratitude and hope, while sipping delicious wine and savoring this quiet moment together.

We want to pause to say THANK YOU all for being a part of our wine journey and a constant source of inspiration, positivity, and learning for us. Cheers and Happy New Year!

I used to go skiing on May Day, in New England that's becoming a rarity unless you head far North now, perhaps the climate has evolved?
