So I take it that we meet at the FFX meet location at 12:00? Plan on leaving Sunset Hills before 6:00? Not specifying, just trying to confirm. Since you are hosting, and are the lead wine expert in our group, you obviously get to set the time. Our neighborhood July 4th celebration is that day, including fireworks, so I wanted to make sure I make it home in time for that. I may have to break away from the group before 6:00. I'll know better mid week. Looking forward to visiting the first two wineries, as I have not been to those yet.

I visited the websites for the three wineries mentioned to get an idea of what they are like, and found that all had special requirements for group tastings:
Hillsborough - Reservations are required for groups of 6 or more people. Groups of 10 or more tasters requires a credit card to hold the reservation. Last group tasting reservation is 3pm on Saturday's. North Gate - Groups (of 8 to 20 guests) are welcome at North Gate during regular business hours. Reservations are required at least two days in advance by phone or by email to guarantee accommodations. Sunset Hills - Reservations are required for groups larger than 8. Large group tastings are available Monday-Friday between Noon - 4pm. All groups eight or larger must be scheduled in advance and unfortunately, we can not accommodate group tastings on Saturday and Sunday. It looks like there will be ten of us (Chris will be coming with me, but I don't think he will be tasting) and we meet the definition of a "large group" for all the facilities. I haven't visited them so I don't know how strict they will be with this policy. What are your thoughts, Randy? |

Will discuss more tomorrow at the "warm up wine sampling...." (hadn't been paying attention - hopefully I didn't distract from this great event)....
Count us (Deb & myself) as a "tentative" in - we've got "other" events on both bookend days (28th & 30th, but thinkin we SHOULD be able to squeeze in a wine tasting...... Gotta start paying "more better" attention to the forum...... Quote:

Ok, I'm in, but Dana is not. She's going on a cruise with her ST club.
I am going to be at PTuning with Ron on Saturday morning since I'm buying his base wheels (for winter). I should be able to make it to FFX by noon, however if I can't I'll just meet you all at the first stop.

Saturday doesn't look too bad. A little rain possible with a thunderstorm.
