Over The Big Blue

It's late Monday night, really it's Tuesay morning, early. I think this is my 11th trip to India. It always begins late at night. On my first trip over the Pacific to the southern aisian continent of India, I really wasn't sure how many sunrises I would see when you "lose" a day going over the international date line.

In fact, when you leave in the middle of the night, early morn, you don't see any sunrises until you are close to Hong Kong, 12 hours and a day and a half later. It's the ride home from Bombay, leaving at midnight when you see the two sunrises. One between Bombay and Singapore and the next one, later in the trip, the same day mind you, flying over the pacific. It's pretty cool.

I'm excited about my trip to India. I always am. It's so far away, and yet it has become a home away from my Sonoma County home to me.

Sula Vineyards is my main client. Borne and driven by my very fun and hip partner, Raj Samant who found love for wines and the grape when he was going to Stanford and working later for Oracle in Silicone Valley. Just seven short years ago, we we producing our first Sauviignon Blanc. I think we produced somewhere less than a couple thousand cases. More on that crazy expericnece later. And it was wild. Today we are over 100,000 cases.

Got to go. Time to board.
