End of March in Napa Valley

This morning I woke up to the low hum of the fans in the vineyards. It must have gotten a bit chilly last night to have to turn those on. They sound like airplanes, several of them waiting on the tarmak. They look rather like airplane propellers standing alone amongst the vines. Yes, thirty degrees this morning the news says. The big fans blow the cold air off of the precious little baby buds. It's a bit strange, only because we don't have an airport anywhere near here, to wake up to the unfamiliar droning of an entire valley.

Las Rocas Explosion

Wow! The only thing more surprising than the quality of this red wine is the merciful price: You can get a bottle of each for about $25. Twenty-Five Bucks! Wine shoppers will want to know about this:

Las Rocas de San Alejandro 2005 Garnacha - Grenache Red Wine


Las Rocas de San Alejandro 2005 Garnacha Vinas Viejas - Grenache Red Wine

Buying Wine Online

One of the most popular online wine shops is:
wine.com


When you buy wine online, or anything for that matter, I recommend setting up a seperate account online for that purpose. You can set up an online account easily at http://ingdirect.com/
Just make a deposit from your real bank account. This way, if anything BAD happens, it won't devistate your life.
