Wine in Hand

//Ever find yourself out enjoying a wine and think “Hey I gotta remember this…” so you take out your phone and take a picture of the bottle while it’s in your hand? We do.

We don’t rate it, score it or bore you to tears with technical jargon, but rather it is about a moment in time with the surroundings in which the wine was enjoyed.

Well earned Viognier

November 9, 2011 Keith 0 Comments Wine in Hand
