What goes up, must come down! (3/21/10)

Filed under: Blog — admin @ 2:12 pm

It’s a funny thing when you wake up on the first day of spring and you’re celebrating your wife’s birthday with a latte and a breakfast burrito …. and then the next thing you know a hot air balloon is making an unscheduled landing in your front yard. So what do you do? Greet them with a glass of Chardonnay, of course — while still your pajamas at the early hour of 8:00am. Here are some pics from this past Sunday morning…. (Sidenote: I chose to show you the cute pictures of the kids as Colleen deleted the one of her in her pj’s and unkempt hair)

If James’ doesn’t have time to drop a few lines, then I will! (3/2/10)

Filed under: Blog — admin @ 9:12 pm

It is hard to believe that we are already into March with Spring just around the corner. Before, I lose myself in excitement about the prospect of sunshine, let me first thank all our amazing and supportive James Cole clients.

As most of you know, James and I have worked for many years to realize our dream of making best-in-class wines — and through it all, it seems we underestimated what a truly amazing experience it would be to get to know our loyal customers. We love sharing stories, telling jokes, and just kicking back with you all when we are around for your visits.

Speaking of which…James and I continue to juggle a million things (between our children and day jobs), so we may not always be as present as we’d like – but we check in with Lisa and Ben every day to see who visited and a little about each person’s experience in the winery. And of course, we are just a click away and always look forward to your direct (and unbiased) feedback. So let us know how we are doing!

Now about that sunshine….everything around us it just ready to bloom. No bud break yet, but the cherry and plum blossoms are a plenty. So allergies aside, we hope you are planning a trip our way soon. We are excited to share the new release of our 2008 Chardonnay (yum) and 2008 Merlot Icewine (OMG, is this good).  You won’t be disappointed.

All the best,

– Colleen (Cole)
