Brrrr - It's so cold out that we've strung extra lights on the citrus trees to keep them warm. Everyone that visited today hurried into the Still House - It's the first real winter cold snap and port always tastes better with friends in a cozy distillery.
John poured the wines, ports & aperitifs. I labeled more Brandy N0.83. I keep hearing from my team, "those bottles are a lot of work..." so I don't mind labeling, tying on the medallions and wrapping them while visiting with visitors. John & Marko already waxed them.
FYI - The Brandy has a bartop closure. To open the wax seal, serrate around the bottle 1/4" below the top and you'll break the wax seal so you can snap it open.
If you're coming up on Friday, remember our new driveway is the second driveway after Terra Valentine here on Spring Mountain. I think we'll have the outside fire going. Don't be stumped for a gift for someone who has everything: Charbay wines & ports are the gifts that never get set aside.
And if you're trying to think of something that really says you care: Charbay Brandy N0.83 is as much an honor to receive as to give. A small release. Only available here at the Still House or in town at a couple shops... and an absolute pleasure to sip. I know. I've been doing the research.
Happy Thanksgiving and Happy Holidays.
