2023 Proved to all of us that we could recover from any turmoil afoot…with a glass of wine and the happiness it brings to our spirits. We don’t know why, and we don’t care. It doesn’t matter. Wine just makes any occasion more joyous.

We’ll have plenty of bubbly on this precious day for our regular tasting 1-6 pm. After which it will be early to bed at our house to anticipate 2024 with a 5 am feeding of Jack the Dog, Little One the Cat, and the 25 chickens, 10 ducks and 11 geese who will be welcomed to the New Year in the din of light with an extra dash of feed pellets and wonderful, fresh water.

It’s been a… year and we thank you for being part of ours.
