Hahn Family Wines 2016 Lucienne Smith Vineyards Pinot Noir

There’s been a lot going on and, yes, it’s been awhile since I’ve posted. I didn’t realize people would notice until, well, people started to notice. So thank you to those of you encouraging me to keep my private writing space up and running.
