But as always, the real standout of HdR is seeing so many friends - a number of whom I only see once a year at this event - and of course meeting new friends. The outstanding wines and the great dinners and other events wouldn't be nearly so much fun without all of the wonderful people who attend HdR. Great to see and to get together with some of you there, and thanks to Mat, John, Vicky, and everyone else who make it all happen every year.
