First off, I just wanted to take a moment to acknowledge memorial day today, and thinking of all of those Americans who have paid the ultimate price. I am extremely grateful for the country we live in, and the freedoms we have to pursue things we care about, like wine. 🇺🇸

I also have some BIG NEWS. This Friday, May 29th at 5pm PST/8pm EST, we will have Greg Burns from Jessie's Grove Winery live on Zoom with everyone for Wine with Kris!! 🎉

I connected with Greg and his team a few weeks back, and absolutely fell in love with his winery and his ancient zines that produce some of the best grapes in Lodi, CA. But I don't want to steal any of his thunder, so if you've been on the fence about attending a Wine with Kris, this is the one to not miss!

I recognize that things have started to open up a little bit across the country, but I have thoroughly enjoyed the weekly community we have built virtually every Friday, so expect them to continue! I would appreciate any feedback to how I can make Wine with Kris better and improve your experience, feel free to respond to this email or drop a line anytime with any feedback you may have!

As always, this virtual happy hour is open to everyone, and you're welcome to bring your drink of choice (Wine (Chardonnay or any other you care to bring), Whiskey, Beer, or Red Bull!)

Why this week is going to the best Wine with Kris yet:

Have a one on one conversation with winegrower and winemaker, Greg Burns!
Experience three AMAZING WINES (🤫 I got to taste these wines a few weeks ago, and they are over the top)
Connect with some awesome and authentic new people, seriously blown away by the diversity every week!
Listen to some great tunes, we just might be able to convince Greg to play one of his personal playlists this week 😉
A weekly gift for our Trivia Winner!

The Wines

2014 Jessie's Grove Royal Tee Ancient Vine Zinfandel
Hailing from vines over 125 years old, this Zinfandel is full bodied, has great color and gives aromas of blackberry and cherry. A great, well balanced wine that will make any Zin fan happy.

2016 Jessie's Grove Ancient Vine Carignane
Carignane is a lesser known grape from Spain, but does extremely well here in Lodi, and Greg and his team have done a great job of making this unique wine.

2018 Cinsault
Originally from France, the vines these grapes come from to make this wine have HUGE secret that I'm going to save for Friday that Greg will clue you in on, so you'll have to show up to hear the secret!
