Edit: clearly not reading well today. Count me in, Sonoma pizza is amazing. I’ll bring a white or sparkling.

Would be a welcome break from harvest. Can’t promise I’ll be great company; I may have a permanent glazed expression on my face by then, but I’d love to join if I can. What kind of timing are you thinking? I’ll be at the winery in the morning but could likely get away mid afternoon and head on over.

Superb, put me in as a yes. I’ll bring some Bucklin, Bedrock, or Ridge.

Sorry to miss this! I have a '99 Lytton Springs that will have to wait for another offline. Enjoy!

Brian, is it an afternoon thing, or evening? I missed the date in the title. Karen flies out that day, so I could head up after dropping her at oak.

This event was incredible last year. I would love to join again. Violet can’t confirm yet, but I’m hoping she can join us too.

I’ll think of some appetizer or dessert to bring.

I have a couple interesting old wine (70s/80s) options, but I don’t think they’re Old Vine. I might go a bit younger (Sky OV Zin, Areio/Vento/Amor) if we want to stick to the theme. Let me know if you have a preference.

sounds amazing… thinking of a matching appetizer. Should I try to extend my seafood streak (grilled squid salad, rock crab claws/cakes) or look more into traditional Italian options, like Vitello Tonnato?

Looking forward to this!

Everything you make is fantastic. I’ll let you choose.
As far as wines we don’t need to get too exotic but I would like to keep close to the theme.

Despite the rain this week it’s supposed to be around 80° on Saturday so we’ll be good.

Have any thoughts on what you’re bringing?
I have some older Ridge Pagani, a slew of Bedrock in the 7-10 year old range, Bucklin Old Hill, Scherrer OMV with age, old Ravenswood. Would like to mix it up with some younger versions of the same wines.

Of course some whites and sparklers for starters.
