| Let's see. To do list:
1) Oil change.
2) Rotate tires.
3) Fill up gas tank.
Maybe....
No, not really, but hope you all have a great time.

| Could make for an interesting week though. Have my son's two year old birthday party on the 31st. On Monday, the Denver crew finagled invitations out of Jill, so it looks like another cellar raid is in the works.
Then on the 6th or so, WIML returns to town for another blowout.
Just need something to fill the days in between.

| from pyang:
Reservation is Booked at PINOT BLANC 6/3/03 at 7:00pm
Just got off the phone with them, we have a reservation for 12, which is one table, we can changed the number if necessary, but will be split for two tables unless we do a special contract, menu, etc...
12 spots will cover all the confirmed attendees, will need to know the maybes ASAP, so we can be assured that the two tables will be next to each other if indeed the amount of people attending does exceed 12. No deposit was required, but did have to give them a CC# with the cancellation policy of 48 hours or $100, which I thought was very reasonable for the party size.
They do have Spiegelau stems, but I would strongly recommend you to bring your own just in case they are not adequate.
Please feel free to let me know if you have any other questions.

| Where in the valley is Pinot Blanc located? I will need to get a room as close as possible that is pet friendly. | | | |

| It's practically right across the street from the Marriott Napa ... I think. | | | Cheers, y'all | |

| Pinot Blanc is within the St Helena city limits, just south of the downtown area. Just north of the A&W Root Beer (to use a landmark I have never actually been in), and a coupe of blocks south of Taylor's Refresher.

| Whoops! What am I thinking ... "Fume Blanc" (?) is near the Marriott. Sorry for the misinformation.

| Re: A&W Rootbeer in St. Helena Tuesday on my pickup run I drove through. Good hamburger and GREAT rootbeer shake. My plan was to eat at Cindy's but because the temperature was so high I didn't want to park in the sun so I looked for a drive through. I guess I could have gone over to 55 Degrees and asked to park my car in there.  | | | |
