Up-Coming Exclusive Club Events

Prune Your Own Vine, Saturday, February 21, 2009 — this sounds like a lot of fun. Loni and I look forward to trying this out sometime, although this date will likely not work for us this time. Learn firsthand how to prune a grapevine (includes lunch with, yes, wine).

Winter Winery Pick-up Party, March 3, 2009 — this one is at the winery itself, stunning views and all, in Napa.

Left Bank Brasserie – Pleasant Hill Pick-up Party, March 5, 2009 — these are always a a good time. Artesa put on a good one last year at Santana Row’s Left Bank restraurant in San Jose (Artesa’s Pick-up Party at Left Bank in Santana Row, San Jose)
