Day-cation!

Drastically in need of a break from all of the Covid-19 isolation, distancing and moodiness, and due to the easing of restrictions, the Norfolk Branch decided not just to get out of town, but to get out of the State! A quick jaunt 2 hours north to Sioux Falls, South Dakota, the jewel of the high plains, was just the ticket. A much needed "Day-cation," with dinner at R Wine Bar & Kitchen, served with 3 different varieties of wine from Jessup Cellars in Napa Valley, California, turned out to be the perfect combination. Not only were the wines matched perfectly with the menu items, but we were also fortunate to have Dan Blue, vintner and part owner of Jessup Cellars speak to our group during dinner about the history of the winery, the growing of the grapes and his dedication to uniqueness and quality.  Jessup sources their fruit from where it grows best, from the cool lowlands of Los Carneros to the Northern Napa Valley. The only rule for our event? NO COVID TALK!" It worked! The event was a much needed respite for us all!
