I hope everyone had a relaxing and enjoyable holiday season. I spent most of my Christmas day in front of the fireplace with a glass of wine, helping my eight-year-old put together a new Lego set. It was pretty cool.
But unfortunately, in this business, there is no time to relax and get emotional just yet. We have another holiday coming up next week!
We will have bubbles galore on Friday and Saturday, along with some other party favorite wines to pass around your dinner table. And since it is the last weekend of the year, we will be highlighting French and Italian wines, my perennial favorite grape growing countries.
