A sweet, sweet holiday this year which, among other things, featured guest appearances in Oak Park/Berwyn by co-president of Bin 504 (and Vandelay Enterprises) Kevin Vandever, good friend Noam Gelfond and a cast of dozens featuring Dave Alvin, Jon Dee Graham, John Boutte, Paul Sanchez, Waco Brothers and our brothers and fellow wine drinkers from the best band in New Orleans (and, therefore, the world!) Bonerama -- all of whom were featured at Fitzgerald's annual Great American Music Festival.
While the festival was rockin' good fun, as it always is, the holiday was also special because it marked the first pre-release of Bin 504, complete with our newly designed labels. It was a great honor to present the very first two bottles to wine lovers and all around great guys Craig Klein and Mark Mullins from Bonerama and to sample another two bottles with Craig and ace Tuba star Matt Perrine.
Consensus is that the wine is aging nicely -- and that it will be ready for full release later in the summer.
Stay tuned for plans on how, when and where. We think we have the "why" figured out -- so we can have fun with all of you!
