This space is going silent for a while. My family and I are spending some time in the Loire Valley, thanks to Superwife, whose first choice would have been somewhere in Africa or Asia. You see, before I got married my goal was to spend vacations in one of the globe’s best winegrowing regions. Immersion in the local food and wine is the best way to expand one’s appreciation and understanding. And love.
But Superwife made this a conditional concession – we could tour the Loire as long as I was not running off to every internet cafe to post new articles, process orders, manage club members or any of the other duties I take on as Chief Cook and Bottle Washer at SidewaysWineClub.com. Don’t worry, orders will be filled almost as quickly as we are known for, and I’ll come back home with a plethora of posting possibilities.
I’ll be back in touch later this month, after processing our club orders on the 16th. Meanwhile – pop the cork on a bottle of Chenin Blanc, Sauvignon Blanc or Cabernet Franc for me, and I’ll raise a toast in your direction.
Dave Chambers, Wine Merchant
Today’s Quote is from Oscar Wilde
Too much work, and no vacation,
Deserves at least a small libation.
So hail! my friends, and raise your glasses,
Work’s the curse of the drinking classes.
