Well, we’re still all exhausted!  Our 3rd Annual Wine Club Dinner last Saturday night was a hit -- 200 of our Wine Club Members filled the cellar for a night of new wine releases, a gourmet menu, live music and dancing.

We released both of our most exclusive wines, our 2007 Single Barrel Petit Verdot and our 2007 Single Barrel Petite Sirah.  The Petite Sirah was so well received, the crowd demanded more even before dinner was over!

By the end of the night, our Club Members were either on the dance floor or huddled around our decadent chocolate fondue stations in the cellar.

Check out the slideshow below for all the greatest hits.

My favorite pic?  The very talented dual-saxophone player (3:29) -- that guy rocked!

Here are some upcoming events to put on your calendar.  Of course, if you have to choose, I’m partial to our 3rd Annual Wine Club Dinner. (see pics from last year’s party) It’s exclusive to Wine Club Members, so you’re missing out if you aren’t yet part of the Club.
