Aren’t they lovely? Not looking “three sheets to the wind” at all. (a phrase my Minnesota-raised spouse uses for drunks – that I would appreciate a comment on this blog as to where in the heck that comes from…?)

After the Loose Goose closing I have been waiting to hear good news within the wine industry. Well………I have big news for you.
