Dear BYOB fan:
The Pinot Noir BYOB is less than two weeks away! We still have room so gather your friends & join us on March 17 for a Central Coast faceoff between Santa Barbara & San Luis Obispo Counties. Summerland Winery makes multiple Pinots in both, & will bring vineyard designates representing each, along with several starter wines & a yummy dessert wine. Read on for the menu & details, & don't forget to sign up soon!
If you missed Marc Liberts review of January's Zinfandel BYOB, you can find it here. The full calendar of 2013 dinners can be found here. I look forward to seeing you all very soon. And note that if you dine with us on Wednesday eves (non-BYOB), we now waive a corkage fee!
