Cheers! from the Duke of Bourbon

We recently sent the following invitation to members of The Wine Association. Perhaps you'd like to join us, too.

CENTRAL COAST FUTURES & NEAR-FUTURES
Featuring the Wines and Winemakers/Proprietors of
AU BON CLIMAT, QUPE, HITCHING POST and FOXEN

We are pleased to invite you to join us for our annual "FUTURES" seminar on Thursday, March 16, 2006, featuring our incomparable group of friends and the outstanding wines they produce on California's Central Coast: JIM CLENDENEN of AU BON CLIMAT, BOB LINDQUIST of QUPE, FRANK OSTINI & GRAY HARTLEY of HITCHING POST and JENNY WILLIAMSON-DORÉ of FOXEN. We are extremely fortunate not only to have access to their wonderful wines (most of them from the excellent 2004 Vintage), but to be able to present them to you to taste before making your purchases. For those of you who have not attended this FUTURES seminar in the past, you won't want to miss it. It is both educational and entertaining.

Last year, the movie "Sideways" featured many of our friends from the Central Coast. We can report that "Sideways" keeps moving forward and interest in the wines from this region has never been better.

We invite you to arrive at 7:00 p.m. for a special walk-around tasting of selected wines. Our winery guests will be serving the wines, so you will be able to share a few moments with the congenial winery personalities as you taste. The traditional sit-down portion of the evening will follow, with our panel of guests discussing each wine presented. Most of the wines shown at this seminar will be available at special "futures" or "near-futures" prices (several will arrive around April 1, 2006). We have pre-tasted many of them and can assure you that they exhibit all of the world-class qualities for which these four wineries are famous.
