Good Morning!

I have not blogged in a couple of weeks….My bad. I have been slammed with travel and some exciting things are happening right now and I want to share them with you. Starting next week I will be working the 2012 Harvest for Groth Wines. You may have tried their wines, they are amazing and actually the Groth Cabernet Sauvignon was the very first California Cabernet to score a perfect 100 with the famous Robert Parker Wine Spectator scale…several, several years ago.

I am super excited and I have had so much to prepare for and I also wanted to start doing something differently, instead of a written blog on a daily basis, I am going to try to create a video blog all through harvest. Just so you know, this might be crude at first, it’s a handheld camera and it will mostly just be me, showing you where I am and what I am doing and explaining all the processes during harvest.

I know at least with a video I do not have to worry about spell check and since I always seem to forget to run spell check, that will save me the humiliation of getting an email saying your grammar is lame and your punctuation stinks too. Hahaha…like I really worry about that stuff. I have been journaling more than blogging recently and I am not sure what the difference is but I know three things about myself, I love to learn, I love to talk and I love to share what I am learning.

I hope when I start posting my daily video you will take a minute or two and let me know what you think. I hope it shares some tidbits of info that you can enjoy or impress someone the next time they are chatting about wine….my biggest fear is being boring or having a bad hair day, but I think I can at least keep the video interesting. So hang with me as I head to Napa and start harvest.

PS….besides working for Groth, around Christmas time, I will bottle all the TJR Select and you can finally see and taste what 2 plus years of work has become! The future is all about youtube, video, podcasts etc….I am just trying to catch up and share my little part of the world with you!

Much LOVE and wine,

Tammi
