May 2017 Wine Club Shipments

Welcome to Summer

Winter has left us, Dawn and I are back from our Australian Oz Odyssey trip and its time to get ready for a great summer. We took twenty wine club members to Australia for our annual wine and food odyssey and now we are all shopping for larger clothes.
