This post is dedicated to Olive Browne, Matt’s paternal Grandmother, 1922 – 2010.
As we filmed this on Thursday, May 27, at 5:30 pm, we had no idea that Olive had lost her battle with cancer at 5:00 pm. It’s so funny how life works; we enjoyed a glass of Cleavage Creek’s 2007 Reserve Chardonnay and talked about what a great thing Budge Brown is doing with his winery for Breast Cancer Research. We also talked about how life is short, life is wonderful, it can be difficult, but it’s always what you make it. We talked about all of these things while hundreds of miles away, they said goodbye to Grandma Browne. Olive will be missed, but she enjoyed a great and a long life, and we want to honor and celebrate that.
On to the wine…we both really enjoyed this Chardonnay; creamy, floral, citrus and lightly oaky, it was great! So, Cleavage Creek is doing a lot of great things! They’re donating 10% of their gross sales to cutting edge beast cancer research AND they’re making good wine! They also feature and support breast cancer survivors on each label…honoring their fight and their victory. Our glasses are raised to Budge, to the survivors, and to Olive, CHEERS!!!

I’m so sorry for your loss.
Thank you, Sandra. We choose to celebrate her life, which is a good thing! Cheers!
Good video! I did watch the Budge Brown video with Gary and it was touching. I even forward it to my step mom because she is a survivor of breast cancer (5 years) and I asked her to fill out an application to be on a bottle but she is thinking about it. She will be 90 years old this November and looks like she is 70. It is a good cause and I will buy a bottle for myself. Thanks again Hoot ‘n Annie. Cheers!
That’s wonderful, Bev! Let us know if she gets on a bottle and we’ll blog on it!
Matt,
So sorry about your Grandmother. May she Rest in Peace.
Thank you! We appreciate it…we’re glad she had a great life!
Sorry to hear about your Grandmother. Great video review!
Thanks, and thank you! Good wine! Cheers….!!!
