Busy, busy, busy!

 Ok, Campers, don't have much story to tell today.  We just got back from a soiree' in Dripping Springs (Western Suburb of Austin).  The widow of my Winemaker friend (and a Winemaker herself) had invited a lot of the people we had met and toured wine regions around the world with.  It was great to see them all again.

 

One of the guests and a friend of mine showed me his woodworking skills when he was told he needed a cane.  I think it's pretty cool

 About 30 folks showed up, lots of good stories told and retold as well as the almost guaranteed "Remember when juvat..." or other guys stories of foibles were told.

Dinner was catered and the main course was chicken or beef fajitas.  Most excellent.

And....

Having sold the winery they had stashed away a decent amount of wine before inventory was counted for the sale. 

All excellent!  Whites and Rose's were available, but their best wines have always been reds.  I had a glass of cold Sauvignon Blanc first to quench my thirst then switched to Reds.

Excellent as always.  

 

 

There was a bit of music that was quite enjoyable.  The couple were long time clients at the winery, so were invited to play (and have some wine).  A very nice touch to a very nice evening. 

The party went on for quite a while, and most of the wives had the chauffeur role in getting home.  Mrs J and I had been invited to spend the night at our host's house which we took advantage of.

The following morning we had a souffle for breakfast and departed for home.

A truly excellent event all round.

Cheers!
