What’s On Pour This Weekend?
I’m stuck in a little snow in Connecticut this weekend so I’ve bottled up on some of my faves. Jordan Cabernet Sauvignon, Rombauer Zinfandel, The Prisoner, and Seghesio Zinfandel. On the plane ride here I watched the Oscar-nominated film Aftersun which I recommend. It’s about a young woman reflecting on the last summer shared with her father as a young girl before his passing.
