Hi John,

WOW! Didn’t know you had a Blog going. Thanks for all the nice comments about our wines. It was fun seeing you and Fiona again and being able to introduce you to some of our new ones since you visited two years ago.

Hope to see you two again before we go back to Michigan!

With and egg yolk, it’s a Clam Digger (if you add some clam juice). There is also the Eye Opener: Rum, Cointreau, crème de Cacao, Pernod, egg yolk, sugar. YUM!

Hangovers suck.

Hi Johnny,
Thanks for posting info on Once Upon A Vine: The Secret Stories of California’s Artisan
Wineries. I’d love to send you a copy. What address should I send it to?

Yep, I’m a bit under the wine establishment radar… I’ve interviewed hundreds of California wineries and winery founders over the past 19 years as the sole newsletter writer for
the 5 wine clubs under the California Wine Club umbrella. This year alone I’ll write
more than 100 newsletters.

I thought it would be fun to choose some of my favorite stories and go a bit deeper with them, with Once Upon A Vine, a book I financed and published myself. The book launch was last Sunday in Palm Desert; I shared some stories, the wineries donated wine, we had a blast! And nearly 100 books sold.

The book is my way to invite wine off its pedestal so people, from the just curious to the connoisseur, can cozy up to it, and open the cellar door in a fun and friendly way. From the Madrigals, who began their winery with just a pair of pruning shears, to Lane Tanner, who was pushed through the cellar door by Fate and Andre Tchelistcheff, to Greg LaFollette, the Sonoma County Pinot Noir guy who I call the Grape Whisperer — they are all unique, sometimes funny, poignant and — well, where should I send the book and you can see for yourself!
Best,
Judy Reynolds

That’s okay, I went HOME with one of the highly prized plastic ones with finger insert…kind of got in trouble :/ But, hey, it was worth not giving up wine for!

The best bar I know is located at
13911 Queensbury Ln, Houston, TX 77079.

The only problem is the random “no glass” rule that I will undoubtedly get yelled at for breaking (the rule, not the glass).

Nothing says Thanksgiving like the BN. The best one I had this year was in a plastic bottle with a screwcap - perfect. The philistines won’t buy it, so that’s more for the rest of us.
