1. Let's deal with Selling and Robert first.
1. Robert - if it's you in L.A., and you really want a case, then we'll apply for the 2nd part of the license California doesn't mention - the $500 for the Dept of Equalization (sounds funny, but not as funny as who issues the Direct Ship Permit, the Dept. of ABC ( kid you not).
Shipping kits are ordered and should be here this coming week.

3. AGEING (aren't we all)
Deliveries to Ohio seem to be a problem. This past week we got let down with the delivery of our French Oak barrles. This meant we were not able to transfer out of secondary fermentation to ageing in these barrels. Never mind the fact that Colporteurs, who supply the barrels, took our money around January 24th! We have shipped from Australia before, and that's quicker and logistically simpler than shipping from California to Ohio.
We haven't quite worked out the blends, but the starting point is to work with what volumes we have in secondary fermentation and translate them into barrels based on prior behaviour. There will always be some give and take with short quantities and so on and it can be quite a mind-bender of an exercise. Actually, it's Wine Soduko: just when you think a certain combination of secondary fermentation varietals will work for a finite number of barrels, you'll then notice that you're short on another blend...and so it goes on.
This is much more of a challenge for us since we don't have the luxury and buffer of huge quantities of wine to deal with and we have less room to manoeuvre with choices and the blend configuration for a given number of barrels. Then you have to allow for top-up.

Thanks for the invite to come out the other weekend; we were skiing with Joanie's family in New York. We are excited to come and help soon.
I had an absolutely wonderful surprise today. I stopped in at the Clintonville Community Market to purchase a few snacks for a trip to visit some relocated Clintonvillites this weekend and as I approached the register, I saw two bottles of Via Vecchia; Awesome! The best impulse purchase item ever; I am excited to share the wine with our friends in North Carolina this weekend.
The wine has truly come to fruition. Thanks for all the hard work. What a treat to see the wine and purchase it from the shelf.

We really appreciate your support. Anton, Marty Paolo and I hope you enjoy drinking the wine as much we enjoyed making it!
I look forward to your return and seeing you and Joanine soon at our wedding. I have a potential place reserved for you both in Maine for the upcoming trip.
Michael
Michael,
Our friends in North Carolina truly enjoyed receiving/drinking superb wine with an equally enjoyable story of origin.
We are excited to celebrate with you for the wedding in the Spring, yet another reason to anticipate future blossoms.
I would love to hear about any recommendations for Maine. Joanie and I are excited for the time on the trail.
With Easter celebrating this coming weekend the Via Vecchia wine will certianly add to the family feasts.
Nick
