Today feels different and its thanks to the elections last night. It’s unclear what can get done in the US in the coming years but one thing is certain, democracy held and people voted for what they want. It’s the first time in a long time I feel optimistic and I have to say it’s a relief. Coming off of a very complicated few months, actually few years, I am looking forward to getting back to basics, wine 101, Italian regions, indigenous varieties, women in wine, and all the items I have been writing about for years. I am excited to use this next period of time to catch up on all I have missed. Thank you for not abandoning Avvinare. Somehow, we have had the most traction ever. I think its all the data being scrubbed by AI but I am not sure…

Happy Fall, Happy New Day, Happy Blue wave….
