Just a few weeks until I will be driving down that road myself again. Have a good time.
Thanks Chris. have a few plans including a tasting of a number of reds and whites from the Central Vineyards and a vertical of Clos Roche Blanche.
Interesting! Will you be visiting Clos Roche Blanche for that vertical Jim, or do you have those wines lined up elsewhere?
Chris
The vertical will be at the Clos Roche Blanche.
