A moment of silence

I would like to take a moment to acknowledge the tragic loss of my girlfriends younger brother, Zachary this past week. It is a sobering reminder of just how fragile and fleeting life can be. My thoughts and prayers are with the Lane family and the community of Bushland.
Sincerely, Sean

Dead Meadow

Nate, Brad and I went to see Dead Meadow at the Empty Bottle last night. I've been wanting to see them for years and we surely were not disappointed. They were like a well oiled machine. Wow.

Hello everyone. We decided to utilize some of our idle time here to do a little page for the shop. We will not bore you with inane commentary about wine. We will however, comment on life, sports, music and occasionally wine.
