Every time I think I have a handle on this business I find out how wrong I am.  
December 5 may well be the conservative "get it done" date for distant gift recipients, but there's more slack for those who live in or near the Golden State.   (I apologize for any panic I may have created among holiday shoppers whose Sangiovese-loving friends live on the the right coast.)  But it sure was fun having my own version of Black Friday today, a Monday well past Thanksgiving.  Thanks, all!
