Alas, yes. Turned out that a number of my clients were effected by the huge wine warehouse fire that occurred right before I went down there. One lost her entire 2003 vintage (cult wine) and several others lost their entire wine libraries, which really is the history of the winery and a sort of "owner's manual" for them. A huge tragedy and occasioned frenzied board meetings, etc. Florida gets hurricanes and the wine country gets arson. The losses were in excess of $100 million and still counting. This was a building where nuclear submarines were once built, 4-ft. thick concrete walls and roof, 2-ft. thick steel doors, indestructible. Problem is...the firefighters could not penetrate the building in order to fight the fire. Now we have to figure out how to get the wine and break the necks off the bottles so that the ruined wine is not sold to a rogue discount outfit that will sell it at reduced prices and ruin the reputation of the wineries effected.
Back to South Walton, however...we are looking forward to spending two weeks down at Grayton during Christmas and New Year's. We will bring our new puppy, Butter because he loves the water. Will attend the party at Pandora's, have some pals over for casual dinners and good wine, and enjoy long walks on the chilly beach. Ya gotta love it, eh?
