I just came back from Steve Kaumann's Acoustic Kamp in Alcoa Tennessee; I play the banjo, and this is a phenomenal opportunity to take lessons from internationally recognized players. If you are interested in the banjo, the teachers were Bill Keith (who invented Keith tuners), Jens Kruger, Bill Evans and Gary "Biscuit" Davis (three time national banjo champion). I'm as passionate about my banjo as Ron is about the vineyard.
Of course wine is ALWAYS in the picture. The Marysville College campus where the seven day event is held asks you to be discreet about alcohol; so I set up a tasting in the laundry room! Here I am with fellow banjo pickers Mikey from Nome Alaska, and Lauren from Palm Beach Gardens.

While I was gone, the hay was cut on the back ridge. This is the view from the back porch. I thought it was lovely. And now I'm back in the car delivering and tasting. White Revelation is down to 60 cases from 150. That's almost last call when you have 100 wholesale customers!
