Like the oaks outside, my 3 year old daughter, Simone, who masqueraded most of her life as a joyful jellybean, seems to be changing colors these days, flashing a vermillion mood this morning. On our drive to school she asks if I can take her to "the hammer store". When I inquire about her need for a hammer, she offers only a sweet (slightly ominous?) smile, and a long pause, followed by You'll see... 

I like a good mystery, especially with the new chill this time of year, so I'll let it linger there for now. I've mentioned before how much I love the fall season. A certain something in the air. The leaves changing and a flurry of new wines and new faces blowing into the shop, breathing new life and bringing new warmth into this space. We also see new vintages of older favorites arriving, familiar bottles with new identities. We do our best not to be too attached to any particular years, but we're human. Some staff were tasting and discussing this the other week, pleased with themselves for being able to recall previous personalities. And others revisiting and re-tasting wines that have been aging here for many months, now entirely new expressions yielding new impressions. All of us appreciating the cyclical change, the evolution, the alchemy of it all. 

Come experience these new and ever-changing curiosities with us. We're pouring flights tonight and Saturday, and have new wines by the glass to enjoy as well! And while these lineups and the faces here and on the shelves may change, other elements never will: This being a space of warmth and welcome for all. Our integrity and fidelity to the quality of our wines. A staff dedicated to exceptional service. And an enduring, evergreen commitment to you and to this vibrant community.
