Ten.One Thousand, Three Hundred & Sixty-Five

1. The chill of early morning.

2. I open the window and spot the feathers of the dead bird from earlier in the week.

3. I explain to her the play on words: “Sauvignon” is based on the french word “Sauvage,” meaning “wild.” So, “Taming the Wild Vine,” is about capturing the elegance of Sauvignon Blanc. “We’ll see how it lands,” I say.

4. I do like this duster. I should wear it more often.

5. It’s quiet up here, peaceful. What a perfect spot.

6. His accent is charming. He’s smart. I was not expecting her to be here, but she is, and that makes me excited. A black woman who owns a winery in Sebastopol. I need to spend more time with her.

7. Everything is delicious. We will have to buy more Fog Crest rosé soon.

8. He looks so good in his uniform. Too bad the game was rescheduled.

9. We make plans for May. May is actually not that far away.

10. Staycation begins now.
