The 2000 Korbel has been opened!
All in all, I have to say that OTBN was a success. We got to remember the past, celebrate the present, and look forward to the future – all while enjoying some wine. And that my friends is what OTBN is all about.
Did you celebrate last night? If so, I’d like hear about your bottle of wine and any memories surrounding it. Cheers! ~KP
Nice story – it’s amazing how much enjoyment a bottle of vino can bring about!
