All work and no play makes Alder a dull boy. I’ve just spent the last couple of weeks immersing myself in New Zealand Pinot Noir. But before I head back to the U.S. to write it up and put out all the fires that have gotten started at my day job in my absence, I’m taking a little personal time.

I’m off to go fishing for a week in the wilds of New Zealand. I won’t be in cell phone or internet range, I’ll just be stalking wild trout in the small streams of New Zealand’s Rotorua region.

So you’ll just have to drink wine on your own without me this week. Back soon!

Cheers,

Alder
