Why yes, I AM a wine club member

This is an image of my wine shelf right now. It makes me happy.

In September I was fortunate enough to travel to San Francisco for a friend's wedding. Since I was out there already, I decided that I should probably make a trip to Napa. Since I was going to Napa, I figured I should probably talk my best friend into going with me. So, I went to Napa with my best friend. My friend, K, had taken a trip to Napa with her parents a few months previous and she talked about all the awesome places that they went. So, I pretty much did the same trip. It did not disappoint. K could not stop talking about a place called Trefethen. She even shared some of their wine with me before I took my trip. I was so impressed with their wines that I told my best friend that we could go to any winery that she wanted while we were in Napa but that we absolutely had to go to Trefethen. It ended up being one of our last stops and was the only place where we both liked everything that we tasted. I even liked the wines that I didn't really like there.
I was so impressed that about two weeks after I got home, I joined their wine club. It's a bit of an investment, but I am so happy for it. I get to taste wines that I wouldn't normally buy. I get to support a family run vineyard that believes in doing things as local as possible and treating everyone like family. I get to drink really yummy wines.
I did my taxes a few days ago and found out I was getting a nice little refund. I decided to put some of that money to good work supporting our economy by placing an order for more wine. That order showed up in my office today. Side note: I'm going to have to start keeping a corkscrew in my desk for situations like this.
All that to say, I now have a wine shelf filled with tasty wines that I can't wait to dig into. Some might say that I have an addiction to wine. I say that I'm having a love affair with wine.

**Please note, this post was written after a trip to P. Diddy's with K that involved drinking two very strong Manhattan's. We'll talk about P. Diddy's in a different post.
