Closing Out 2021
December 31, 2021. Our household has been dealing with COVID-19, quarantine, and self-isolation during the month of December. The Holidays were awful for us this year and traveling to any wineries was out of the question for our own well-being and the health of others. But as we are now coming out of the bad times, at least for now, and anticipating a better 2022, we are looking back over the year 2021 particularly reflecting on our experiences in wine. Since we inaugurated the Sabin Wine Journeys blog in May, we have documented 19 separate winery visits, and blog-posted about the 87 wines we sampled. I notice that Kim tends to sample less but buy more than I do. Here are the wines we highlighted from our travels this year: Chardonnay . Old Farm Winery at Hartland 2020 Winery at Bull Run 2019 Grace Estates 2017 Captain John Petit Manseng . Winery at La Grange 2019 White Hall 2017 Pinot Grigio .
