Many expeditions too little writing

 

Updates have been long overdue as we have been on the road the last four out of 6 weeks.  Since the last posting, there have been four expeditions spanning Long Island NY, Denver CO, Tampa/Anna Marie Island FL, Raleigh NC, and Oceanside CA.  Of course, there is still one more expedition this week for a pick-up and tasting.  First up in early April was a trip to Sound Bistro (first visit) and a full tasting at Bedell Cellars.  Both were outstanding and will be followed up with a detailed posting.  Next was a family affair attending a friend’s daughter’s wedding on the beach on Anna Maria Island just west of Tampa, FL, and what a wedding it was.  From there, it was on to Fuquay-Varina, NC, to visit our Grandson Jack.  Next up was a mixed business/pleasure trip.  My first stop was Denver, CO, at the WSTS conference, where I was back on stage for the first time after three years, giving a presentation on the history of the need and use of precision timing in the Financial Service Sector.  From there, it was on to Oceanside, CA, to visit the in-laws and enjoy some fine California food and wine.  Then, after a few days of recovery, it was back on the road to do one of our “mission from God” club pick-ups stopping at six wineries for eight pick-ups (2 for our friends) and a couple of deliveries to round out the early summer round of wineries.  Lastly, this week we will do a single winery(Lieb Cellars) pick-up and a first-visit winery(Clovis Point) expanded tasting.  More posting on all of this is coming shortly.
