hi mike, As a baby boomer, I’m drinking as much wine as I can. And I’ve got my son Scott into wine. (I think it was the ounce of 2001 Jean Louis Chave Hermitage that we ordered at Wine Bar George in Disney Springs, FL in January that got him hooked. I still have a bottle of Legit in my collection from 2 years ago. I hope to see you on September 11th when I’m next in NorCal. Great episode and I love the conversation with Amy.
