This is my favorite time of year. Sure, there’s the craziness of kids going back to school and gearing up for the holidays, but one quick drive through the vineyards and everything seems to just calm down.

Sure, I open the door for the occasional stranger and I say hi to the elderly couple as I walk by, but I can do so much more. We all can! Enter the #RandomActsofWineness!
