WineRelease.com's March 15, 2014 Monthly Newsletter.
Greetings from WineRelease.com, now 2,008 winery listings strong.
We have had only two storms come through the Bay Area in a while. I feel guilty enjoying beautiful 70 degree days because we need the rain to help our drought, but it is great to be out during the day to enjoy sunlight. Rain is in the forecast for mid next week.
We have been spending our weekends in St. Helena. We had friends up with kids and my wife stayed home to watch five of them while the adults went to Duckhorn for tasting. I like Duckhorn because they have a beautiful outdoor space, the wines are great and reservations are not required (although I would recommend if your time is limited) and it is five minutes from our house. We will be spending next week up there working by day and enjoying wine country at night.
This weekend my friends and I are starting work on converting the tool shed off the garage into a �man cave� where my friends can watch tv, smoke cigars, drink wine and play cards. The goal is to insulate and sheetrock this weekend.
And now, onto the wines...
