Vino

As most of you know...Luke and I love wine! We don't claim to be sommeliers by any stretch, but we do get great enjoyment from a great bottle of wine. Over two years ago Luke and I signed up to be on "The List" for a vineyard in California titled Sea Smoke. Finally, yesterday we received our first offer to actually purchase some of their vintage wine. So...now we are anxiously awaiting our first four bottles. Unfortunately they are not schedule to arrive until November.

Here is a picture of two bottles we ordered! Can't wait!

On another note--Luke and I have been saving corks since we first started dating in February 2007. With the old cork carrier full, we upgraded to a bigger cork vase. On every cork we write the date, the people, and what we were doing. Just looking back over the corks brings us joy. The first time our families met we consumed a good bit of wine, and have some funny corks that we'll cherish forever. As for what we are going to do with the corks?? We haven't 100% decided yet. I did see someone that made their kitchen island top out of the saved corks and then had it covered for protection. It was really cool how they positioned them for you to read the corks. Such a personal touch. I guess we'll decided later in life once we purchase a home!

Here is a shot of our new cork carrier

I know it doesn't look like much in our carrier, but we've been saving for a while and I think there is around 100. Check out Sea Smoke if you like wine and join the list today!
