I selected the $40 per person option that has 3 courses plus appetizers
Scott and Andrea are in and I vote for appetizers, sometimes the boss gets a little testy if there is nothing to nibble during the opening salvo of champagne
Dominique and I are in. Pending the opening of our tasting room, which at the rate it’s going, won’t be open by then unfortunately, but I will know better in about a month so I will post when I know, but for now, we are in
Also, another thing to think about, the tables are round and hold about 10 people at each, so we could do 2 tables with 7 & 8 people, but doing the one or two wines at a time as we have done in the past, may be challenging (I could be wrong)???
I was just saying I think the tables hold 10 people. I’m 99% sure I had at least 10 people at my table… Nevertheless, we will have 15 people total, making one table 7 and the other 8, which seems perfect to me…
So it appears Lea and I will likely be camping/backpacking in the far northern reaches of California that weekend. Sorry to miss out, since PN is her favourite red. We’ll just have to do another time.
So Scott, Peter - when shall we do a Pinot night? My place is available!
