Domain Day

• September 2014

  This is an interesting story with a happy ending.  We ordered three bottles of wine from Domaine Serene a while back and it arrived last Friday at the local FedEx.  I picked it up and opened the box - set the bottles in our wine racks and tossed the box.  A few days later Sandra realized that they shipped the wrong wine - we got a Pinot Noir fro...
