And just like that, the books are closed on 2009.  As you rehearse the proper way of saying “2010″ in conversations (Twenty-ten? Two thousand and ten?) and cramp your brain when writing ’09 instead of ’10, here are the top ten most memorable posts from 2009.

Our Zin went fast!  It was definitely one of our fastest selling and most popular wines – 200 cases disappeared quickly.

Of course, our Wine Club Members were the first to taste it, and they wanted more.

The Texans awarded it a Gold Medal, and they put their orders in.

And now, at the end of inventory, you can order your last taste!
