Most Embarrassing Moment:
The first time I did a tasting at Fox Meadow. Day One about three hours in our first customer walks in. I asked "would you like to do a tasting?" He said "Sure" and I had no idea what to say next. Six years of planning for this moment and my mind went blank.

Most overrated virtue:
Patience. I am not a patient person.
