It’s been a minute, what’s new BWE?
A quick scan shows you’ve all been drinking well, glad to see it.
I took an extended on-and-off hiatus from wine for a stretch in the winter and spring, but I’ve been ramping up again of late.

Patrick, there is still room for you to come to the convention in DC at the end of the month. Please come!

Welcome back bud, you've been missed.
You know I second what Bill says. If you can sneak away at all, I've made sure to leave a couple seats open in case anything has changed on your end.

"ramping up" -- hold on for the first 10,000 bottle cellar in BWE history!
Patrick, great to have you back man! We've missed you. Would love to see you in DC if you can get away -- just two short days! But realize it's not much notice.

Welcome back to BWE Blanquito…
You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave

Hi guys, thanks for the warm welcome. I missed you all too, it’s good to be back.
Stefan/Marcus/Joel, I would sorely love to join everyone in DC, that would be the perfect way to get back into the swing of things! The timing is tight though as noted, but I floated the idea anyway with the boss, who is mulling it over. I will reach out asap if I get the green light.

I especially need you, Patrick, as otherwise I will be the only poor teacher swimming in a sea of lawyers, doctors, and the like.

Definitely, let's plan a high-elevation get-together soon. A certain BYOB-friendly venue in Denver is always a fast option to get something planned.

Glad to see you back, Patrick. Hope you can make it to DC, though I cannot make it this time.

Blanquito!
Getting caught up after a grueling week.
If it helps you at all with the Boss, tell her that the Benevolent Dictator is kindly and gently ordering your presence in the nation's capital in a couple weeks.

There’s a 98 Figeac in it for you if you can get up here!

It would be great if you could make it to DC for this - Likely to be more than one vintage of Figeac to try.

Welcome back Patrick, nice to see your smiling typeface again.
I’ll add my voice to the chorus hoping you can swing a trip to join us in DC later this month.
