A Brief 2025 Update...
No.51 | Thinking Out Loud
It has been a rather busy start to the year with some work obligations impacting my writing and posting schedule these first few weeks of 2025, but I anticipate being back on track soon. In the meantime, I wanted to take a moment share an update on what you can expect from this newsletter and Cab Franc Chronicles in the year ahead.
When I launched this newsletter in January 2024, it was my hope to post weekly here to Substack in addition to my videos that I post biweekly to Instagram/YouTube. While I concluded the year with fifty posts and the exercise of writing regularly was extremely beneficial, I did find my Substack goal to be a little ambitious and at times overwhelming. I would like 2025 to be about balance, and I also want to create space for freelance writing and other creative and professional pursuits for Cab Franc Chronicles. So, it is my intention to post every other week here to Substack (in addition to my biweekly videos) and the goal is to focus on quality over quantity. Also, it is my hope to use these posts as supplements to some of my videos by providing visuals, maps, etc., whenever possible.
As Cab Franc Chronicles enters its fifth year, I couldn’t be more grateful for all of the continued enthusiasm and support for this niche and nerdy endeavour. The year ahead looks bright, and I look forward to continuing to explore the world of Cabernet Franc and sharing my discoveries, insights and revelations with everyone here.
Thank you for reading, for watching, for your support and for being a part of this journey.



2025 already tastes better, grâce à toi !
Thank you for writing so much and creating such thoughtful (and STUDIED!) content.
I still have catching up to do and need to reread them regularly 🥰😂 so this sounds perfect to me!!! For those of us that don’t have a fraction of your knowledge, this is very extensive and still concise and inviting to learn - you’re amazing. Very grateful for you!!
