Alison and I just got back from a fabulous vacation in California.  A few days were spent sipping wine in the [tag]Russian River Valley[/tag] where we enjoyed meeting people while “tasting wines.”  Our favorite winery, Lambert Bridge, has a connection to Atlanta.  Not only does Andy, the proprietor (true title: National Sales Manager) of Lambert Bridge, have a girlfriend who lives in Hotlanta (although of course she wants to move to the wine country,) but he also knows a number of folks here – including members of the [tag]Concentrics Group[/tag].  So, at some point in the near future, I am hopeful that I can get a bottle of Lambert Bridge wine from One Midtown Kitchen (since it is doubtful we will ever go back to Trois.)

Lambert Bridge is a gorgeous spot and the winemakers, Jill and Mitch, create fantastic wines in small quantities keeping this winery nice and personable.  We loved hanging out with Gus the dog, Andy and his dad and even got a personal tour of the grapes.  Of course we became members of their wine club so we can get bottles delivered to us. Thank God Georgia passed that law!

Anyway, that’s it.  Great vacation and great wine!

Alison and Andy with the grapes!
