Yesterday was my 38th birthday, and like many of you, I’m sure, I spent it racking 8 gallons of Russian River Pinot Noir. Apart from one final racking in the Summer, my 2010 Chardonnay and Pinot are now ready for bottling in the Fall. Despite the fact that I keep this blog, believe me when I tell you I’m really not that keen on social media. I find it a little overwhelming. Nonetheless, I did enjoy receiving the bevy of texts, wall posts and direct messages from friends old and new wishing me a happy birthday. Many of these notes were from people who would have been unlikely to have known my birthday back when we used to see each other on a daily basis. Pretty amazing.
Coolest of all, though, was the gift I got from Kim. She found a “wine camp” in Long Island that offers a 4-day wine emersion where activities include food and wine pairings, winery tours, hands on work in the vineyard, wine blending, working with the winemakers, and drinking a whole lot of wine. Not sure when we’re going to go, but I’m pretty sure it will be hard for me to sleep the week before. Anybody want to come along?
