So many people want to talk about what they tasted, what they opened, what scored what, and that’s fine I do it too from time to time.  But what I think of most often are my walks in the vineyards over the years from when I started at St. Francis to the early mornings at Kunde during harvest, to walking the Sauvignon Blanc lot at Roth and on Chalk Hill Road….  All the walks I took in the Dutcher Crossing blocks before that.  What I thoughts about, what I saw, how I felt.

Relaxed.

Unusual PEACE.

A lot gets lost in wine discussions and in the business.  The happiness you should experience, the collection during a slow set of steps between rows.  Not set of sips mirror that.
