Hawaii anniversary wine! To celebrate our milestone anniversary this month, we took two of our favorite Washington luxury wines to Kona, Hawaii. Namely, Dossier 2022 Sauvignon Blanc and Trothe 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon.

By the way, we protected this precious cargo in Wine Jimmy the Fox travel sleeves. Read on for details.
