Con't Wine Update


Thanks to my best man, Erik, and a "second" by groomsman Brian Gidney, a couple weekends ago Katie and I went to a particular winery in the Russian River Valley. This winery, Moshin Vineyards, is just north of Forestville in Sonoma County, which just so happens to be the town where Katie's Aunt and Uncle, Ann and Robert, reside.

We hoped their Rose was good - and it was. Light, a tad sweet but integrated, as well as refreshing! Perfect for the presumably warm summer evening which will accompany our wedding. We tasted last years vintage of their Sauvignon Blanc, as well as their current year. This years was buttery and toasty. But last years better, we thought. It was crisp, with a little bit of structure - so we got a couple cases of that, too!

So the wine for the reception is underway. We've got a couple other ideas to round out the rest of the list. We'll let you know when we've got it. Everyone will have a wine they like, as well as an opportunity to enjoy a variety throughout the evening.

We can't wait for the party to begin!
