Well, it’s that time again! I’ve made some great friends on this site. I have something to be grateful for.
Not sure if I’ve ever said this or not, but—2021 is our year.
Love you all. 🥳

Indeed! Happy New Year to all on this board. It’s great to be in good company and have shared interest in a good company!
I’m sure we all agree that much of the board’s success these days can be explained by the general tone of goodwill that usually prevails and the work of our board administrators, who moderate fairly and try to keep us civil, organized and on topic.
Let’s toast to a healthier happier new year for all!

2020 was really bad ... until today when I received my FedEx delivery of a case of wine from the Castle.
But, that's mytakeonit

The most fitting drink with respect to 2020 would seem to me to be a colonoscopy prep.

Wonder if my neighbors read proboards? I went to my neighbor's house last night drinking my glass of cab and they were drinking and asked me if I want some of their "pinky" wine. I asked what it was and they said Barefoot Sang... or something. Sorry but I couldn't hear after they said Barefoot. So I went home and brought them a cab and chardonnay that I received that afternoon. I also told them not to open it now and save it for themselves. Oh, I also said "DON'T DROP THEM !!!" The next day my other neighbor's wife and mom came by to give me a small container of "mochi" and said "Happy New Year!!!". I think they were actually "mooching" because during the conversation they said that they "Love Chardonnay" and I didn't even mention wine. What the Heck !!! Anyway, I brought out 2 bottles for them. One was my last bottle of a good brand that my neighbor mentioned. And the second bottle was the one that I received that day. They were staring at the bottle's label so I had to explain that also. That the label showed the actual castle that the owner of the winery had built. He spent $1M on materials and designed and built the whole castle pretty much by hisself. This was quite a few years ago so $1M was a lot back then. Anyway, if you go to the Napa area ... make sure you look for a tiny sign next to a road that goes up into the forest. There you will see the castle ... called the Castello di Amorosa.

“Happy New Year” - never in our lifetimes has that phrase been so greatly aspirational and so minutely declarative.

Yes, we know all about the glass fire. But, it was limited to a separate building and all is well. Initially Dario thought that the fire couldn't cross the road ... but, winds did carry it over to the one building. Because the main building is made of brick and stone, it wasn't touched. AND, the wine is fine. Or, as Tony the Tiger would say ... It's Great !!!
I've met these people and I'm glad that the fire was limited to the warehouse. The castle itself houses the bulk of their wine storage. And the metal storage vats outside also were intact and fine. To meet people who live and work there with such love for what they do is amazing.
But, that's mytakeonit
