Tannins Under the Sea….

I really love what I do…..I certainly have my fair share of children and wedding shoots….and occasionally I get to experience something different and super cool.  Yesterday, I was loaded up on a diving boat (anyone remember the temp?)…..and headed out into the deep blue to dunk a few cases of Cabernet Sauvignon into the salty bubbles.  So apparently, Jim “Bear” Dyke, of Mira Winery,  had a restless night a few months ago and thought…..’Hey, let’s age some wine at the bottom of the ocean.’  Well alrighty then….out we went with four marine constructed cages, 48 bottles of wine and some scuba men to an undisclosed spot for the vino to take a 3-month bath in the dark, cool waves.  The excitement of what this may….or may not….produce was overwhelming and infectious.  Certainly there will be a buzz upon the dawn of these bottles in May and many are already anxious to taste.  Check out the status…or better yet, get yo’self a bottle right here!  For the record…when I wake up in the middle night…I’m thinking of things like: “Did I pay for that field trip?” or “Do we have any Worcestershire sauce?”….dang.  Must. Reprogram. Brain.

Oh, I hope the little fishes look as cool as I did in my sunglasses….I made a small donation to someone’s marine life accessory chest.
