Blue Fox 2008

It was a late evening in September of 2009. We had just finished crush for the day. Full moon. I'm taking a break under the oak tree by the watchtower of Kir-Yianni Estate, when out of the blue a fox trots in the vineyards close by. She freezes, I freeze. We stare at each other for a second before she takes flight into the woods. Blame it on the moonlight, blame it on my mood, but I swear the fox looked blue to me. Fantasy or not, this is the name of our new wine: Blue Fox!
