We still have a few seats available at our next seminar. Read on for all the details."SOONER OR LATER"
Featuring the 2005 Wines and Winemakers/Proprietors of
AU BON CLIMAT QUPE HITCHING POST
as they present
THE CENTRAL COAST'S FINEST VINTAGE EVER!All we can say is, "Wow!" We are in for a wonderful treat on Thursday, March 29, 2007, as we present to The Wine Association members and guests some supreme examples of what is being called the finest vintage ever on the Central Coast. To take us through a tantalizing tour of their terrific wines is our incomparable group of friends, JIM CLENDENEN of AU BON CLIMAT, BOB LINDQUIST of QUPE, and FRANK OSTINI & GRAY HARTLEY of HITCHING POST.
"SOONER OR LATER" best describes what we will be offering - wines that either are currently available or will be released at the time of our event and wines that you can purchase "on future" for delivery in August of 2007. All of the wines shown will be offered for sale at the event with at least a 20% discount. So come early (7:00 p.m.) for a short walk-around tasting and meet all of the winemakers as they pour their wines. Then, after the formal sit-down seminar, stay late and talk to them again. This is certain to be a most entertaining and educational evening. In addition to the wines listed below, we most likely will have a few other surprises.
