From Kath: We haven't been doing much wine drinking these past few weeks, save for our usual Two Buck table wine during the week. Reasons? A nasty cold has run its course through our house, pretty much making all of us miserable and rendering our noses and taste buds useless. Not good for trying new wine. Also, we've been busy with a variety of activities, and we haven't been around much.
NaNoWriMo has kept me very, very busy this month. I'm happy to report that I'm at 43K words--not bad with less than two weeks to go! I pretty much did marathon writing sessions the first part of the month, knowing that I wouldn't get much done over Thanksgiving. It's been fun.
We've been thinking about our Thanksgiving wine. Daryl already picked up a 1.5L bottle of Fetzer Chardonnay for our table wine. We are considering opening our 1996 Quintessa--that'll be fun to try, and we'll write it up here. Kath's family may bring a couple of bottles to share, and we're looking forward to their selections.
That's it for this Saturday. Go Buckeyes!

I just read your blog mentioning opening your 1996 Quintessa for Thanksgiving and wanted to thank you for including our winery in your holiday! Please let me know if you ever make it to Napa, we'd love to show you around the winery and vineyard.

Thank you! We enjoyed the 1996 and are looking forward to opening our 2001 Quintessa for another special occasion. We'd love to get out to Napa sometime in the near future, and we'll definitely visit.
We're also looking forward to the Big Game!
