"The Swimming Song" Loudon Wainwright III, Attempted Mustache (1973)

We took a leap and changed course a bit in 2023, resulting in a Sparkling Rose that trills like the bell from the ice cream truck. Emanating joy and decadence, it is pillowy as a puff of cumulus melting into a sunrise of raspberry creamsicles.

This Celilo Vineyard Chardonnay is fresher than a morning in May, bursting with desert parsley and white blossoms in the morning on a wet trail. It waves across the palate like the windswept tall grasses on our hillside. May that wind blow you home again and roll away the dew.

"Woke Up Laughing" Robert Palmer, Looking for Clues (1980)

The Tocai Friulano hypnotizes with delicate power, a trance that envelops the senses like aromas of blossoms on a warm breeze. It glides gracefully as water over smooth river rock, purling across the palate with invigorating clarity and willowy poise.

"Back to the Island" Leon Russell, Will O' The Wisp (1975)

Bright, tropical and swaying like palms in the wind, the Sauvignon Blanc is a little glass of vacation. A match made in heaven for picnic lunches, its crispness crashes upon the shore and laps at languid, sun-drenched days that drift into sunset.

You will find your thrill in the 2022 AGO Carbonic Pinot Noir. It sits atop a blueberry hill and its sweet melody lingers above swaying patches of purple sage and grounding juniper. Perfect for making the moon and time stand still, at least for a moment.

"Nightswimming" REM, Automatic For The People (1992)

The Carbonic Primitivo stands at the edge of a high dive. Bold fruit pulses through its veins and anticipates the rich and revitalizing plunge. From this depth, it resurfaces, the exhilaration of the moment now radiating out serenely as the light from the moon above.
