I know that Ted & Pam & the marble head boys will be there along with Mike Slama, Craig, Rick, Art, Hubba, Elvis, Ol Toy Doc, etc. Looking forward to meeting T-Way & "The Keeper". June 3-4th, (although ALOT of vendors start setting up on Thurs.) No admission fee as always, food on site Fri. & Sat., If you're "on the fence"...show up! Always a great time (you listenin' Poorman & Prof. Bennett?) The oil can races on Sat. morning make the trip worth while.

Free admission does draw the crowds and vendors do well here. I usually spend more than I make but that is what the whole thing is about. What vendor tour will we have this year????? Who knows but it will rock.

Second to that are their screw top varietals, like Boone's Farm Strawberry Hill. Then there's the redneck wines that come with a pull tab in the silver cans. Just wanted to give you all a preview of what to expect up there in Santa Rosa. C Cragg

Tom save that spot I'll bring the goods and some great Lodi special red wine with the best screw cap made. Gary the difference between Lodi reds and Napa is the cork that's it!!!!! Tom and I order wine the same. Give us a bottle of your cheapest red. Should be fun. Got to leave by noon on Sat. to get home for a party at 4 P.M. so come come early and have fun.

Even bought some of his stuff. I think that he's committed to the coast now so I'm sure he'll be there?!? I think Ted's right about the Lodi reds. They put it in a box and sell it for a couple of bucks over there, then they bottle it and put a cork in it and get 18 bucks for it over here. Those valley guys aren't stupid just because they're rednecks. Sounds like the Lodi corner is the place to hang out. C Cragg

I bring the cheap Lodi wine and Gary brings the Napa wine and Curt brings the central coast wines and Tom brings the Ripple and we all drink it. Curt yours first Gary second and by that time they all taste the same. Taste test over. Then we go pay too much for something at the bash. Having fun and can't wait.

The heart of the wine country is down here in Santa Barbara County. Your wife will do just fine in Napa though, and Sonoma and the Russian River. Napa used to be a fun little wine touring town, but nowadays it has turned into the winery version of Disneyland. Yes Tom, the wines are still great, but it has gotten real big.

Thanks guys!!!!!

Took me a few hours extra to get home. Too tired to tell you the story now, details at a later date. Had a GREAT time as always. Hope we entertained Jim & Jodi enough to warrant a return trip sometime (bring Chris with you, sounds like he'd fit into the corner just fine!!). Bought, sold, traded & saw lots of great stuff. Gary, funny, the guy that you sold the Texaco 6 footer to doesn't really look like he's your brother. Randy said something about him being your brother & Randy wouldn't tell me something that wasn't true...... Ted & Pam & Ethyl, what can I say...you guys are the best!!!! Already looking forward to October 14th-15th.
