I'm hoping to bottle the second vintage of my Clone 877 Arroyo Seco Syrah on January 8, as that would give me some new (and unbottleshocked) swill for The Day The Girth Took Pills three days later in Sedona. But with the criminal California legislature trying to pass a $3/cs tax hike on wine, everybody and their wino grandmother is making reservations for early bottling dates. Elvis, help me out!
