Richard Leland has sold Vintage Wines after 28 years, 42 in the wine biz. Whether he likes it or not, we are having an informal offline in his honor Sunday December 9 at 3:30 PM on the water in SF. Usual place, free parking. Location by PM only. You don't need to know Richard to attend but you do need to genuflect on arrival.
No, the wines will not be from Vintage's inventory LOL. But there's usually a couple of epic ones.
Bring:
Your own bad self
A bottle, preferably not a very young oak monster. Any kind, any country.
Bring your own stems. They have mediocre stems if you prefer.
$20 cash to the venue per person, quasi-corkage.
Cash for any food you order, burgers salad fish sandwich chili.
Pot luck hors d'oeuvres optional.
Format is very informal. Sit down, stand up, walk around, go out to the deck.

Make sure you congratulate him on his fantasy baseball victory this past season. Very much wish I could be there, will open a nice red Burg tonight with a friend in Richard's honour.
