I think I posted in some thread before, but not detailed. We're tired from the years of extreme work schedules and are moving to more closely align our inner lives with our outer ones. I'll keep running my business, and will split my time between that and between creamery operations. It'll be very small, exclusively estate production, seasonal cheese, highly custom milk genetics, only autochthonous strains... very much ultra traditional meets ultra modern.
I far prefer Mendo wines to anything else. I'm biased, it's easy to love home because it's a part of me. I think it's the best value out there. Still very much undiscovered, mostly because much of the marketing and sales are direct, and a good deal of the wine is consumed locally. We do OK up here in WA, but the vineyard management still has a long way to go. I do love Walla Walla, though.
