Ga Ga for Rosenblum

by Farley

Rosenblum regular crewSpeaking of wine club members…. Meg, Kenny, and I had the best time with a couple from Washington back in August. With their child safely tucked away at camp, Mark and Caroline planned a trip to San Francisco: Rosenblum Cellars being (one of) their main destination(s). As they were taking the ferry over, they could only carry so much wine back. So they came to see us twice. I took them on a tour, we all chatted and laughed and generally had a great time. When Mark called me to say he and a friend were coming back in November specifically for the Open House and wanted to volunteer, I told Andrea she could expect her most enthusiastic helper ever. Except for maybe Caroline, who—in their concern over carting wine to the ferry building and then to their hotel—proclaimed, “I’d crawl on my knees for the Hendry!”

camera use gone wild at RosenblumTherefore, we sent them a card that day and took these pictures. You might not be able to tell that bottle in the first one is the Hendry Reserve Zinfandel, but it is. The second picture is just for fun. Cause that’s how it is at Rosenblum Cellars tasting room. Everybody has fun and the wine club is like a family. Cheers!

    Katie from Ten Spoon called Craig - Missoula volunteers are harvesting the grapes this weekend. I would partake if it were not for this 20 lb lump in the front of my belly.

    Speaking of Hendry, we are celebrating our 16th wedding anniversary tonight with a bottle of 2004 Hendry Zin! Kudos to Farley and Shauna and all the staff at Rosenblum,we had and absolutely Fantastic time visiting in August! Mark and his friend Wade can’t wait to come and volunteer for the Holiday Hoopla in November! Unfortunately Caroline can’t make it but Mark has a shopping list of wine (see Hendry) to bring home, hope they can get it to the airport!
    Cheers, Mark and Caroline
