What is January?

Ah, January. I don't reckon January is the most popular month, but it's one of my favorites. There's little to do in the winery and sales slow to a trickle, allowing me to do some mining in the mountain of stuff that's piled up since August, back when Harvest preparations began. The end of Harvest pretty much rolls into the holiday sales season (this year with a little bottling thrown in, for good measure) so by the time the new year rolls around, I'm as cooked as a truck stop burger.

Plus, sometimes I get letters like this:

From: Jennifer in Georgia
Subject: Your Port

I bought a bottle – nice, tall – when I was on the island last year for the first time in May. Just opened it this week and have been sipping every night. I love it! I wish you had a distributor in Atlanta!
