I only wish we didn't have to wait another 12 months for the wine to age in the barrel before we can drink it. The blending was a fine experience.

Y'all got a great thing going. I'm tempted to sell myself into slave labor considering the kind of (legal) drugs you're pushing. But oh! I must conveniently be out winehiking in March... Incidentally, Beau sent a note to the Basic Juice Crew this morning to let us know that there are still 4 cases of our Juice Crew Red/Basic Brick still available for adoption. Please help find these cases a loving home! Only $216 each! Just <a href="mailto:beau@basicjuice.com" rel="nofollow">contact Beau Jarvis</a> to reserve yours before it's too late.

It's why I wouldn't wish to stray too far from the term "Basic." To my mind, adding together the two terms "Basic" and "Brick" just <em>pops</em>. But I'm involved in communications, so go figure. In his <a rel="nofollow" target="new" href="http://basicjuice.blogs.com/basicjuice/2006/09/get_down_wthe_j.html">original oratory on the topic</a>, Beau even alluded to a potential name change, stating that "Basic Juice Red isn't going to cut it." I guess you could say that Beau planted a seed hisself. Señor Jefe, I agree for the most part that “keeping the branding” is important.

And thanks for thinking of me for the samples! While I hate to lose a good group-mind moment like you all clearly had together, it might be good to consider staying true to the original "Basic Juice" mantra and sticking with that name. Just making sure that point gets argued :) As an aside, if any of the Crew plans to attend the SF Chronicle tasting on the 24th, I will be pouring for Twisted Oak - stop by and introduce yourself!
