In search of the perfect holiday tree

On a mild day in early December, it was time for the annual holiday trip to Maple Lane Farms.
Erica, Andie and Jon piled in the Ford pick up (circa 1999 but displays well loved "character" well beyond her years) and were on the quest for the perfect 12 foot Blue Spruce for the Tasting Room.

After selecting the over sized wreath for the red barn doors, stringing lights, getting the fireplace going and bringing out the Bing Crosby CDs- the season had officially begun!  One highlight was the Second Annual Staff Cookie Contest.  Chocolate dominated this season (great pairing for our Port!)  with many entries- and a clear winner.  Let's just say the cookie king of '07 was dethroned. It was a wonderful, snowy December and we thank our friends for braving the cold to come up to share a glass with us by the fire.  

Happy New Year!
