It's nice to take time off, just to return. Hi kids, hope 19 is treating right.

Pedal, pedal, pedal, pedal, that's what happens when I ride a bike.

Politicians are always fighting for something. Maybe they should try getting along for something (like our country).

This week only I am having a mix and match sale of older whites and rosés. $100 per case, pick up only, no shipping (sorry, but it is Summer). Email me at todd(at)biggiohamina.com to arrange a time. And mask up. XO

U.S. WINEMAKER TASTING: Oregon's Todd Hamina Cellars! Fri 11/7 from 4:30pm-7:30pm conta.cc/1vIrKWD

Whole cluster fermentation, especially with Pinot Noir is oft discussed. Todd Hamina Told us about it in detail: youtube.com/watch?v=sa3aqC…

Working on the Gew.

Missing this.

Making a wine that stands out in a blind tasting is almost as asinine as the blind tasting itself. Have a meal, share with people you love.

Tomorrow we bottle some delicious wine for Gypsy Dancer. On Thursday those of Denison and Kiff. 15 and 16 are looking quite nice.

The 2016 Gewurtztraminer is in the bottle and lovely. I will pour it at the McMinnville Farmer's Market tomorrow!!
