More on 09...

As the year comes to a close, I feel incredibly fortunate to be doing what I do and I enjoy it more and more every day... As I said before, while I was fortunate enough to taste some amazing wine this year (probably more quality wine than any other year I've been in the business... but less "buzz" names...), I got to really enjoy wine this year...
