This is my personal remembrance of Jim Concannon, from his and my Concannon Vineyards history. Jim lived from 1931 until October 12, 2026, and I worked with him for ten years many moons ago. Jim Concannon Took Me Home For Peanut Butter & Jelly, and we just chatted about the day with no wine stress. We had an appointment in Livermore at Concannon Vineyard, but the person was running late and we were really hungry. So, we went to his house for peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.

I worked with him for 10 years, long ago. Jim Concannon Took Me Home For Peanut Butter & Jelly, and we just chatted, with no wine stress.

I’m warming up to St. Martin’s Day with Aldeia de Cima. I know I’m ahead of the schedule (November 11), but I’m ready now. I’ve been fortunate to visit Portugal’s Alentejo region a couple of times, and I always anticipate the celebrations. My most recent trip was a few years ago, so this year I’m doing something about it. With the videos I’m now creating, I can return to those wonderful memories whenever I want. Some are presented here, from Aldeia de Cima, today’s project.
