Dang, if I hadn't been (and still am) pouring my own wines this weekend, I would have loved to have been there -- although I'm very happy to have Vincent's words and Joshua's pictures to experience it vicariously...
A great time with great wine... hey, I don't remember the charcuterie... perhaps the photographer cleaned it up :).
Byron, I'll let you know about the next thing we do.
Mitch, you and me both. I barely got a sample pf each, though I was a little busy. These events are like a wedding. You don't get a chance to slow down and eat something. But what I tried was really good.
Byron.. I actually met you ( for the third or fourth time ) the weekend before Memorial day.
I'm the guy who always comes in for a super quick tasting and to buy a few bottles of your Pinot at the end of a VERY long day of pickup parties and wine tasting.
I'm committing before God and the Internet to make you my first stop the weekend before Thanksgiving.. I couldn't wait and cracked open one of the Luminous Hills Pinot's and LOVED it..
see you in Nov.
Todd
ps.. Vincent.. Email me and we'll setup a private tasting for you..as soon as the weather turns sunny, I'd like to do some charcuterie tasting.. and you could be the official wine supplier of that event if you'd like :)
cheers.
Vincent - yes, please do. I hope I can swing the next one...
Todd, Thanks so much - I'm thrilled you're enjoying the wine, and I'll be looking forward to seeing you again the weekend before Thanksgiving...
