Hardy Wallace Offline, July 25th 2026, Sonoma County

Event Planner - Online or Offline

It’s on! Saturday July 25th at mi casa in Forestville. D&R, Clothing Optional and YEAH! wines. This should be fun. I have bunch of Hardy’s wines on hand.
D&R - 24 different bottlings
YEAH! - 21
Clothing Optional - 3

The last time I hosted an offline at my home I suggested the next one be a @H_Wallace_Jr Offline. D&R, Clothing Optional, YEAH! It received nods of approval from around the table.
Well, at Falltacular I donated a Flannery/Morgan Ranch and wine offline and there were two bidders who wanted it so bad they talked me into offering a 2nd one. Fast-forward and now that cuts into my available hosting weekends. So if I’m going to do a Hardy offline I need to gauge interest and figure out some possible dates.

Food:
Have someone local come in and make us fried chicken?
Other thoughts?
Susie - Ceviche and chips

Roster:
Susie G +1

When?

I love this idea! I could contribute ceviche + chips, 2013 D&R Mourvedre, and a couple recent Yeah! bottlings, assuming it’s a weekend I’m free.

Maybe sometime in July, it’s kinda fluid right now.

Those are the two weekends that would work for me, as well.

We don’t currently have any D&R but feel confident that we can either find a couple or some non D&R’s that would be worthy of opening!

Accompanied by my smarter half. I also told Uli that I had a 1999 Ridge Lytton to share.

Early July may work. Coming over from the East Coast. It would be Janet and I. It’s been too long Brian.

I went to an offline with Hardy a couple of years ago and was very impressed by the wines. I would be interested in attending if there is room.

Of course! I’ll pencil you in. Solo or +1?

19

You may! Let’s see how it plays.
