Pickpocket Grenache   

It wasn’t your idea to come to the Blue Ridge Mountains this late in the season, but the Fraser rs and late ripening blackberries are a delight. e kitchen is steeped 100 prior tenant’s rituals, the scents of black tea, clove oil, creosote and bruised spearmint combine wondrously with your old fashioned made with proper marchino and Angostura. e plan is to write, but tonight you indulge in a sunset, heavy cinnamon spiked hot chocolate and the cool, piped in water, while somewhere an organ plays.
