It Must be Fall - Here Come the Wine Shipments

Now that it's nearing the end of October, a lot of wineries in California, Washington, and Oregon have their fall wine releases of new vintages. The weather is cool enough to ship wine without potential heat damage. And the wineries want to stimulate purchases before the holidays.

So, our UPS man has to wear a new back support to carry all the wine shipments to our front door. We're even giving him a few tips on wines to buy and how to store his wine. He had been keeping his wine in a small rack on his kitchen counter in the sunlight. Ooooh! Looks nice, but a quick way to ruin it.

Today, shipments came from Husch (Mendocino County) and Papapietro Perry (Russian River Valley in Sonoma County). Tomorrow, we should get shipments from Arns (Napa Valley), Esterlina (Mendocino County), and Fielding Hills (Washington State).
