Attempted to use two different cards today at the market and learned that there were fraud warnings out on both of them. Rather odd. #underacloud

Just catching the sweet breeze with the cat as the sun is setting. I’m staying close as recently there have been coyotes in the neighborhood.

Big road trip today, peddling my wares far and wide. Do I have a dependable vehicle? (Still not able to pass the smog test.) #urjokingright #schleppageduvin

It has been said before. This administration not exactly composed of Mensa material

Can’t agree more. Thought for a moment that Hegseth was wearing the arrow through the head hat once favored by Steve Martin.

Not quite sure what the thinking there was. But insanely heavy.

Spoke to a lovely group of home winemakers yesterday, some of whom gifted me with bottles including a high octane Syrah made without sulfites bottled in the heaviest bottle I ever hefted. #lookoutmom

Best of times, worst of times. Likoly death if not severe degradation of democratic ideals and values. On the other side of the ledger, some outstanding frozen food at TraderJoes. #modernlife

Just waiting for the Calif. credit to kick in in May, if I can hang on till then.

Talking to a group of home winemakers tomorrow in Los Alros Hills. I’m trying to distill what I think are the most important considerations for making great wines

ArPePe seldom disappoints. I love their wines

Saw gas in Santa Cruz over $6/gallon. Not sure I can put off the acquisition of an electric vehicle any longer.

Working in our little seedling nursery today. Somewhat like a neonatal ward for grapevines, I suppose. Analogy not entirely precise but I do fantasize sometimes that one of these new crosses will grow up to be a very useful new variety.

This is not the best part of the firing, but it’s in the Top 10.

It is crazy expensive to do business these days. FedEx and UPS both shockingly priced. 25 order forms on slightly heavier stock =$48!! And sending them anywhere? Forget it!

Thanks so much. And you haven’t yet seen my dancing.

Some distance driving today but a very productive morning in Paso Robles. Note to self: Do all your Paso business before the month of June if possible.

Haven’t done much wine writing in the last several years but recently was commissioned to do a few pieces and it feels good to re-engage those muscles. Alas the most obvious subject is the death watch of the wine biz occurring concurrently with the death watch of democracy
