Holler Bickerstaff 2003

The major events in 2003 were the replanting of the vineyard; the passing of Cindy's father Frank and Cindy''s taking a leave of absence from Intel in August. The kids are growing quickly now in 1st and 4th grades. Wonderful ages, we are so fortunate to be able to spend lots of time with them. They are also fortunate to have our time and seem to be thriving on it. The grape growing and winemaking continues to be a rewarding vocation for me with some of the 2002 vintage turning out to be world class based on more than one blind tasting by people other than us. AJ took her first job in law enforcement at Macy's nabbing shoplifters. Niece Cheryl has spent a lot of time with us this year, her last of high school.
