I'm sitting on my favorite writing perch listening to an old Willie and Lobo cd, trying to dissect a Two Mountain Lemberger from Yakima Valley, and staring at the south of the border Red-Green-Blue guns of our new featured artist, Guzztavo Vargas. There is a ton more fruit in the paintings than there is in the Lemberger... but that's Lemberger, otherwise known as Blue Franc which is supposed to be light and foodie-like. I do remember some fruit when I first tasted it, but right now I'm just getting wood and acidity. This appears to be an all day play. Back to the paintings... Guzztavo's interpretation of the accordion cowgirl is hot.

Snow is in the forecast, comfort wines are open and breathing on the counter, Willie and Lobo on the stereo, and the cowgirls are swaying. Maybe I should put the Lemberger down.
