Hello Everyone – I hope you are all staying safe and hanging in there. It’s been a difficult few weeks and will continue for a while, but we’ll get through it. We always find a way to cope – wine sales have increased 66% in the last few weeks. There has been a lot of online purchasing with many purchases via large online stores. However, don’t forget about the smaller family or boutique vineyards who might not sell via online or even in local grocery stores. They depend upon the visitors to their vineyards for their business and their business has been significantly hampered due to COVID19. I visited the following three wines several years ago and really enjoyed most everything they produce. Crane Family is the first of my favorites. Their Merlot is my favorite Merlot and their Cabernet Sauvignon and Il Cavaliere Red are outstanding. In addition, you should order some Aonair wines. Their Cabernet Franc and Grenache Blends are great. I enjoyed their Late Harvest Semillon as well even though it was a slightly sweeter white wine than I normally like. Finally, you should give Porter Family Vineyards wines a try – I really enjoy their Sandpiper Red. Note that I waited to post this so I could place orders ahead of the mad rush this is going to have on their wines. Have an excellent week!
A great blend of wine and wisdom
