The Ice Storm Issue

{{ snippet.ovc-forward }}

Last week I was a wee bit wordy and if you remember I mentioned something about how interesting the weather was going to be. Geez, who would have thought multiple inches of ice forming, breaking tree branches, and widespread power outages? Throughout Saturday night, I was awoken several times with the sounds of crack, crack, BOOM! Huge tree branches falling throughout my neighborhood and backyard.

I was doing pretty good with the weather until Sunday afternoon, and one of those branches decided to taste a power line. Something in the juice of the power line didn’t set too well. Maybe it was too sweet, or the tannins were too high. Whatever it was, the result was a power outage until Wednesday afternoon. My usual process of researching, creating an outline, and of course, the mental space to compose a worthy newsletter this week went out the window.

I am keeping this week’s newsletter crazy short, but I do have two questions for you. First, what winery would you like me to do a deep dive? And secondly, if you were to buy a hardback, premium paper, gorgeous Oregon Wine book, what one factor would convince you to buy it?

Next week will be better, I promise!

With Gratitude,

A.J.

PPS - I know adding more pictures than text was overkill and not needed. It made me feel better though!
