The Kapalua Wine & Food Festival is coming up!

We’re not going this year, but we had such a wonderful time last year. One of the fun things about the Festival is meeting the winemakers who are always quite friendly. We were especially pleased to discover that the founders of Mollydooker Wines, Sarah and Sparky Marquis, were just as cool and fun as the designs on their bottle labels!

Thanks to them, we also learned about their Winemaker’s Dozen offer—an assortment of their fabulous wines, including the Miss Molly Sparkling Shiraz, which you can’t get here. That’s the dozen Shake ordered up there. We’ve been enthusiastically working our way through it!

Cheers to a lovely weekend, everyone!
