WINE TALK

I am headed to Los Olivos in early December for my wife’s 30th and I am looking to make some appointments for a few private tastings. We will be there Friday- Sunday. Any help would be appreciated.

Was just up there 2 weeks ago and had an amazing time.

We did Foxen, Qupe/ Verdad/ Ethan, D’Alfonso- Curran, Melville and Palmina.

All were outstanding. Enjoy your trip.

I’ve tried to get in touch with Wes with no luck yet. I will send Larry a note and see if we can taste there too. Have fun up there…Post some notes after your trip

FYI first weekend in December quite a few events in the Sta. Rita Hills: http://www.staritahills.com/events.html

That’s a bummer…we’re heading up the next weekend. So, we will miss all of the events. We will definitely be coming by Fiddlehead during our trip…do you pour on Friday’s or Saturday’s?

Actually might be a better weekend being less busy! Let me know the day you’ll be in Lompoc / Ghetto and I’ll hook you up. And if I’m around, will be more than happy to pop some corks for you! (and yes, open both Fri/Sat.)

SWEET! Hopefully we can hook up. Thanks!

Don’t foget Flying Goat in the Ghetto (next Palmina) for single vineyard PNs and Goat Bubbles.

Yes! Fiddlehead and Flying Goat are great too! Can spend a weekend in that ghetto!
