We actually need to do one of these in Chicago! There are enough of you Berzerker Boyz up there to make this insane in such a great city.

We can offer up our winery in Lompoc as a location. We have TONS of room… and a fully equiped kitchen (Viking appliances - 2 ovens, 6 burner stove with a grill, 2 dishwashers). Our kitchen space is huge, with an island big enough to do an elephant autopsy on (just guessing as I have never actually performed one). We can use our lab as a prep area as well (2 sinks, huge island). We also have 3 (yes 3) refigerators. And 5 really nice bathrooms.

And our parking lot has about 80 parking spaces - room to park and even set up some outdoor grills.

We could easily handle upwards of 200 people.

I know Lompoc isn’t the coolest town in the world, but there are a lot of hotel rooms. Nothing too fancy - the best hotels in town are the Holiday Inn Express and the Embassy Suites. But it is the most affordable place to stay in the area. It won’t break the bank doing the event in Lompoc.

Plus, we could do some extensive barrel tasting as well. And maybe Cargasacchi would grill up some gopher and penguin for us.

Currently, the only weekend in March that we couldn’t do it would be Mar 20-21.

If we can swing this at your place, bringing a couple of El Nido is a no brainer for me. If not, looking forward to tasting with you in December.

[ToddFrench]

Great offer from Brian as well - I’m game!

We should really narrow/lock this down…

An El Nido bash at Brian’s sounds perfect . I’ll stash some El Nido to bring too.

And you can try our Cali version of El Nido in barrel!!

Sounds awesome!

Maybe we can set up some sort of Berserker golf tourney at Alisal Ranch. It’s right there in Solvang and a pretty solid course. Plus, for all you movie buffs, it’s the golf course featured in Sideways… It seems to me that a golf event would only further satiate any drinking/prop-betting desires one might have…

[Bill_Tex_Landreth]

Brian, give me shout offline via PM when you have a chance so that we can hash this out as far as date and logistics.

I am totally down for that…

I could be down with that as well, but considering a few of the names on the invite list, like in Sideways I might be aimed at with flying golf balls by the rebel rousers.

If things work out with Brian, look for a BIG shindig…

Maybe Kara can roll the portable Flatbread Pizza oven over the Brian’s. That or she does her own event the day before or after.



Thanks for stepping up BTW Brian. Terrific gesture!

Be afraid Kara. Be very afraid.
