WinOH!




We volunteered a Woffard Acres Vineyards (WAV) this weekend and you know there's just nothing wrong with being surrounded with friends, wine, pine trees and the challenge of a new experience. My friend Lisa's boyfriend, Mike is part owner at WAV and was in need of some support this weekend... so being "game," we said yes. Between the "Run for the Hungry" and working at the winery...volunteering just never ceases to amaze me in what it returns to you for the effort! We always wind up with much more in return for the experience....like yesterday's training was a prelude of the experience we'd have today...imagine a small "tasting room" filled with twenty plus people...us...the sober ones and those tasting, asking for more and more wine. Mike is truly the master orchestrating tastes, for the "white wine only," Red wine only and lactose intolerant tasters...between mouthing the acknowledgement of the direction to the bathroom, getting water to the designated drivers, where the clean glasses are and how to join the "wine club...to save 20%.

Well we know nothing (or really the equivalent to) about wine, accept we like it!!! We destroyed the pronunciation of Noibiollo, Pinotage and Monteverdi....actually I could barely say Soveneign Blanc...but the experience was valuable...cuz talking about something that I know little about is very good test to your BS- ibility. And ya know what...either together or alone we can "walk the walk!" We sold over a thousand bucks of wine today ! We are thrilled and must say...go see them next time you're in Apple Hill. Or call us, we'll meet you there! Tomorrow is rest day! Mike and Lisa, dinner was "above and beyond." Thanks to you both, K

I had no idea you were going to Woffard. Dave and I love that place. Bought their '03 Cab last time we were there.
