addendum

almost forgot two other great tidbits, the first being you never know who will come through! My first day on the tasting floor, one of the sisters from my favorite sister-sister chocolate operation chanced by on her way to the napa chocolate salon and left a delicious box of socola chocolate for the staff to share. tidbit number two - bottling of the 2009 chardonnay starts on monday! the tanks have been coming out of cold stabilization over the weekend and making lots of interesting noises, plus chilling down the barrel rooms quite a bit. Like Christmas morning - I can't wait to see the bottling line in action!
