@Peggy Hadley, great friends, love of life, and playing high post. I can’t afford the nosebleed in Napa. Willamette tomorrow…

@Ron R Was that Monte #2 a torpedo Ron? A cracker of a cigar!

Ron R

@Bob McDonald, you clearly know your cigars - absolutely correct! We cut that piece before taking the picture.

Hard to focus on that with the beautiful view! Looks like a great afternoon - three great wines and a cigar.

Ron R

The wine was great, but the company was way better. The view @Sharon B is from my friend’s deck atop a mountain. @Cliff Benson also supplied many of the fine wines that we slurped. Thanks so much for a wonderful w/end, Cliff.

A bit pricey...

Scott@Mister A’s-San Diego

So historically, top notch CA/OR chard/pinot producers have been ruffly a third of the cost of equitable/comparable Frenchie Burgundy juice. How does this slot in or (k)not?

Ron R

@Scott Rose, this is an outstanding pinot. It’s only fault is that it lacks brand recognition (which is no fault, really). But I’m a consumer just like the rest of the sheep, and for that price, I want dancing women, too 🕺🏾😲

I've made a lot of brilliant mistakes in my life, for example not buying Google stock 1999. Thought it was a fad.! Oh well got to admit Ron it was a brilliant mistake!

Andrew Moore

Once again Ron’s right on point. I have nothing to add

Ron R

Love it, @Jody Scharf
