Ryan and Tina.  Really nice people, soft-spoken and gentle in their checking out the room and the tasting menu.  Message Chris, “Couple comes in to chat, buys a bottle of Chard!” Not sure why I’m so excited, just in a wine mood and mode.

Time to taste wines and samples Chris left – samples are GSM, Rosé, and smoke-ruined Chardonnay.  May just nose the latter.

Tasting through samples first and now getting into proper flight.  wine is saying something else to me – telling me to be patient with her, but even more imperatively myself.
