| Yes.
For years Turley used to let you come to the winery in St. Helena to pick up your wine. During the wine boom, the winery got so crowded there ended up being a traffic jam in the vineyard. After that they had to cancel the pick up your wine gatherings. Hopefully this event won't be so swarmed with people that they have to cancel this again. | | | |

"Nobody goes there any more. It's too crowded." | | | Beta testing a new signature. | |

| On the fence. Considering it, not sure if we can make it. Too many VC events close to each other. Wife seems to think we should do something else with our life other than go to wine parties. | | | |

| Gail and I are heading down with another couple as well. Hope to see you folks there! If it's anything like the last pick-up party in St. Helena, it will be a blast. Plenty of other places to go afterwards... Dinner reservations in Pacific Grove at Passionfish on the way back to San Jose. Terrible wine glasses but excellent value food and wines at release pricing. Passionfish web page Joe | | | |

| I'm happy to drive us down but I've run into a little problem which makes the timing of the trip to Paso Robles pretty brutal. I found out a couple of days ago that I am attending a fundraiser for the St. Helena Hospital that evening. That means I need to be back to the City by 4 in order to get up to Napa in time for the fundraiser. That means I pretty much need to be at Turley when they open at 10 am. Spend a half hour loading up the car with the cases and tasting and then head back North. That means I would need to pick you up at around 7 am. I am sorry for the late notice but I did not know about the fundraiser until Sunday night. Its going to be a long day. Let me know what you think (other than that I am insane). | | | |
