The tasting sounds like lots of fun! Do you know the dates? Or, can people just show up? I'd be up for going.

I am SO sad but I will not be able to make the Hendry wine tastin g- I have tried their wines and they are fabulous. I will be around for the Portugese wine tasting (Friday or Saturday!) Let's plan on one of those nights!

Hmm, that's weird. The Solo Vino email didn't list a date or time for the Hendry Ranch tasting. Let's just say their web site and emails leave a little something to be desired. I think you will have to call to find out when it is. I'll let you know if they send another email.

And yes, let's plan on the Portugese wine tasting on Friday night. That sounds like fun!

The email did say the date, but it is a bit hidden - it's under the Hendry graphic). It is Wednesday, September 5th, 4:30 pm-7:30 pm.

Say...Sarah--did you go to Martell Vineyard's grape harvest last year? I think I met you there.

On a different note, count me in for the Portuguese wine tasting in October. And, of course, include Rob as well. Can't wait!
