2007 Donkey and Goat The Recluse Broken Leg

2009 Pievalta Barone Pizzine

And two Magnums

1962 Chateau Talbot

1998 Pride Mountian Merlot

All the wines showed really well.

Great evening with friends!

Yesterday was spent filling bags for a client.

Over the past few months we have been researching putting wines in kegs for a few local places and maybe even one of our favorite places in New York. We are happy to announce that we are launching our first keg wine - The White Label. This first wine is mainly Syrah and delicious.

As soon as it is available on a tap, we will announce where you try it.

Yesterday, over breakfast, I was interviewed via Twitter about FourSquare - a service I think is great. The interview was the first of several recent mentions:

• Business Insider posted a short note and our interview.
• The Wine Kitchen, a favorite spot of Tracey's in the DC area, wrote a great post about thinking about wine and our Roussanne. I totally agree with the lemon and honeysuckle.
• And Alice Feiring wrote the Natural Wine Symposium where we shared our unreleased, Untended Chardonnay. Read to the bottom.

Enjoy!

For the last few months, we have know that our blog service was changing. As a result, I have been trying to decide what to do. I finally made a decision but it will likely be a multi-step process. Today, the first part was done - moving the location to http://donkeyandgoat.blogspot.com/. As a result, we can now post from our phones and update the blog. (Blogger turned off our FTP service on May 1.)

I am thinking about next steps. Will likely move the whole blog to WordPress since it is offered by our domain host. If you have better ideas, please let us know.
