The Charity dinner is the night before and is supposed to have some serious food and wine selections as well as a great auction.

This sounds like a great event, lots of great food, & lots of fabulous liquors & wines. I talked to MTPockets about it & thought about attending this event. But, we decided to go to Amsterdam instead for a few days.

The cognac tasting alone would have been worth it for me since I am a lover of fine Cognac.

Hmmmm........(weighing each hand)......Rochester or Amsterdam? Hmmmm.....

, Yep. Exactly. I've heard they have very interesting & unique brownies there.

I got excited about this until I saw that it is 300+ miles away from me. Geography has never been my strong point.

have a good time.

That's closer than, say, Santa Barbara is to Los Gatos, right?!?

It will take me 3 hours from Saratoga.
