The second weekend of July has been put forth as a possible winetasting date. I would like to hit up the vineyards of El Dorado or Amador Counties. Let's pack a picnic basket and head for the hills! Saturday the 14th or Sunday the 15th, folks?

Sun, July 8, 2007 - 9:48 AMOkay . . . the second weekend isn't looking so good afterall, Mark and I have a catering gig on Saturday and I have a Passion Party planned for Sunday. So, how about the third weekend? That would be the 21st or 22nd? The 21st is the day the FINAL HARRY POTTER BOOK hits stores, but I'm willing to miss out on the insanity at the bookstore and go winetasting instead. :) -

Mon, July 16, 2007 - 11:09 AMHey guys! Man I have been neglecting this tribe. My apologies!
Any hoo, I have my doubts that Milo and I will get the chance to get away to join you guys, but I would love to visit the Amador wineries, many of which Milo and I drive by each time we visit his fam in West Point. I have a friend here at work who is really into wine, and even does winetasting parties now. She sent me the following list of her favorite Amador wineries, so I thought I would share it here:
