"Cool" Wines!

Not what you're probably thinking when I say cool. I mean, cool as in temperature. My Dad is member of Alpha-Omega so when his latest shipment arrived, the "Wine Assure" packaging caught his attention. In fact, the wines show-up very chilled. Temperature controlled shipping is what Wine Assure delivers. Very eco-friendly packaging insures your wine stays cool even when it's hot outside. Check it out: http://www.wineassure.com/

Weekend Wines: nothing high-end but I did pick-up a Wente Riva Ranch Chardonnay Saturday. Always consistent plus under $15 makes this a real bargin. Tried the Jade Mountain 2004 Mourvedre again. I can't tell you enough how tasty this red is for under $20. Great juice. Bought by Chalone so go through their website to order is my best guess.

Weather-wise: cooler with a persistent fog at the coast. Air quality has improved plus it's windy so even inland highs are mostly in the 70s. Looks even cooler tomorrow with local drizzle then some warming inland by Thursday/Friday but nothing we can't handle. Very quiet pattern but lousy beach weather. No sign of any heatwave.
