WE need to hear from you, it is a two-way street, so please tell us any concerns and ways in which we may better serve your needs, desires, interests, hobbies, leisure times, private and intimate times, too : as we have all kinds of spirits under the stars, moon, trees, mountains, clouds to help relax and smooth your frazzled nerves into a more comfortable and enjoyable mood and ' place - space '.
WE HAVE MANY NEW IDEAS to
implement here, to stay fresh and pertinent, relevant, and to always
bring a smile and positive vibes when you think of us. We want you think
of us often and with love and joy - gladness, wellness, comfort and
with trust that we are here for you, that without you we could not be
here!
SO : PLEASE DISH with us, whatever it may be : DISH It UP 4 Us!
ONLY EIGHT MORE DAYS till the
elections, and on many levels it will be a relief to move forward into
our next chapter as a nation. It is very hard to think and know that
there may be a lot of trouble to face once the election results are
tabulated and final, once that everyone agrees to move forward as one
nation and to mend our divides , heal many our wounds, and try and work
as a team and not against one another.
WE HAVE SPIRITS GALORE to help
you along, you choose which ones, we make recommendations, we do it
together as we always have, and we move forward .... one for all, all
for one. Grin and bear it all, agree to disagree, that there are so many
ways to turn an argument, spin results, see things. Seeing a larger
picture is something that always helps me, it really does, was thinking
that as I drove to work this cool morning after Halloween night.
HOW WAS HALLOWEEN for you all?
Was it grand? Did you all say BOO and SPOOK someone?!? What costumes did
you don? What treats, what tricks were up your sleeves?!? We had many
at our home. I did six spray-paint images of spooks anf gooks to
celebrate the occasion.
WE HAD THE CUTEST
trick-or-treaters to start the whole Halloween moment off : so small, so
adorable, so animated, excited, cheerful, loved their outfits -
costumes, it was a joy, a treat for me to see them all, to open our
front door and to start everything off really well. And they came before
it got dark : the parents waited patiently on our sidewalk, the kids
rushed to our front door.
IT WAS A GREAT RESPITE from politics. We were sooooo thankful for that.
I WALKED AROUND THE STORE
earlier AND FOUND SOME GREAT spirits and beers to write about today,
love that : always something ' new and exciting! '
TWO GREAT VISITS JUST NOW :
Matt Herde , director of
ROGUE VINTNER that sells us ( with Eric Platt ) the Kiwi MATAKANA
ESTATE Marlborough, New Jealand wines like the 2014 Pinot Noir, $23.49.
It was great to see you
Matt. You walked in saying something like , and wearing a big smile : "
Remember me, I still get your store email and read it, I used to come in
with Robert Whale and Eric Platt selling you the western Australian
wines of #PLANTAGENET . " I loved that, remembered it all, and we called
Robert Whale just then and spoke to him : the circle of life, love it.
Thanks Matt, great to see you again. You are welcome here anytime.
ALSO :
With Danielle Davidowitz of
Dionysos Imports I just got to meet Aussie winemaker David Baverstock
with Herdade Do Esporao and the Quinta Dos Murcas : a real treat. David
is from the Barossa Valley in South Australia, and married a Portuguese
lady and so has been in Portugal now for 33 years, making wines in these
two estates for many years. We have carried them here, too. I LOVED
the

Esporao 2013, Reserva Red, from Alentejo, too , $28.99, like a lovely
Rhone red : creamy-dreamy-silky, spoke to me immediately, medium-bodied,
a real pleasure ...
3)Quinta Dos Murcas 2010 Reserve
Red, Duoro, $47.99, young, tight, gritty, some rough edges that are
from the youth of this wine, still needs many years to evolve and grow
into itself! Buy that one and wait!
ALSO : ' new ' Discovery today :
1) " T " indigenous Trincadeira
