Going good

Things seem to be going smoothly at the winery right now. With so much to do there is little time for anything else. I am into paperwork up to my eyeballs. David is running tests on a bunch of things (I will give more information on Friday). Rob is moving wine around and getting things cleaned up. Tim is helping Rob and labeling wine like crazy. On top of all this the tasting room is torn apart. The walls are getting textured and will soon be painted. It was fun finding all my stuff to ship a couple wine orders.

Our big Fine Art and Wine Festival happens in 10 days. The flyer should be on our website soon but if you have questions email me at info@chateaulorane.com I will email you the flyer. Next week the wine club shipment for May goes out. I need to get copies run in town sometime. Maybe I can pawn the job off on someone else.

The weather has been beautiful the last few afternoon/evenings. I love the smell of spring in the air and the warm sun (can you tell I grew up in Southern California?). I love winter too, don't get me wrong, there's just something about spring, everything is new!

I was sent home with a sample bottle of 2007 Viognier. It is very nice and I am enjoying it but pacing myself since it is over 16% alcohol right now. It needs a little work but I'm not complaining. I am eating some almonds and liking the pair. I am a woman of simple things.

I will get back to everyone with more information on what is happening with the wine that has been treated with bentonite on Friday. Better yet, maybe David can do that too.

Here's to spring and all that is new!
