| We'll be holding a statewide offline in Fredericksburg, TX open to all Texans and out of state visitors. Come one, come all! LilacWine is our local host for this event. Here are the details:
- Date: Saturday, April 22nd
- Time: Approximately 6PM TBD
- Place: Lawn next to Belle Notte Bed & Breakfast in Fredericksburg, TXLink to Belle Notte Website
- Food Theme: Texas BBQ
- Wine Theme: BBQ Wines
Food will either be catered or we'll buy it and pick it up ourselves and split the cost evenly. Everybody present must bring at least one wine to share with the group but you're highly encouraged to bring extras! BBQ wines rule the day so bring what you want such as California Cabernet Sauvignon or Zinfandel. Openers and closers are not only desired they are encouraged!
Let me know if you're in and the number in your party. You're encouraged to book your B&B or hotel soon as Fredericksburg is filling up fast that weekend and it'll get a lot fuller really quick since wildflowers stand a chance of being in bloom that weekend.

Hey wino4ever, you indicated earlier you might be bringing another couple. Should they be added to the guest list or are the two of you coming alone? | |
