August 2022
Back to school month! We just bought our daughter her 5th grade backpack. Here’s my current “This Month’s List” of recommended wines. It’s a dynamic list, meaning instead of a brand new list of wines published each month, I continually add and remove wines to keep it relevant. To learn about my method, check out My Value Rating System and How I Taste & Score Wines. For the first time in DDWA’s history, I am selling wine on my website. The merchant is First & Franklin Marketplace in Napa. This e-commerce is the first small step in my new business venture.
Online sales work perfectly for local pick up purchases and shipping within California and neighbor states. Please contact me if you have any questions about the wines and ordering online. Happy to help.
