"Ease-in-Wednesday" I'm calling it. You can stroll through the garden and build an appetite, and then head to a food truck. Or, visit the marina for a half-off bottle of wine and if you are lucky (or stay long enough) you'll see a big ship pass by. It always amazes me.

RIESLING TASTING - This Friday, July 28th, 5-7 PM with special guest - winemaker Markus Niggli
I'm excited to have winemaker and Riesling connoisseur Markus Niggli host this special tasting. We'll taste: the aptly named Rieslingfreak's bone-dry Riesling from Australia; Wohlmuth's mineral-driven Riesling from Austria; Schlumberger's rich, Alsatian Grand Cru Riesling; and three delicate Rieslings from three virtuoso winemakers done in three different styles: Wegeler's Kabinett, Markus Molitor's Spatlese and Maximin Grunhaus'Auslese. Great opportunity to learn about and more importantly taste some exquisite Rieslings.
Tickets: $30 ($15 for Club Members)
