Wine Event at Silver Oak

Today was the big release of the 2006 Cabernet. There was music, food, and plenty of wine. We even talked our way up to the VIP section where we sat on the sofa overlooking the music, etc. and they brought the wine to us. There was an intense guy who was very serious about his cheese. Another guy that prepared sausage for us, and yes there are many different flavors of sausage besides Jimmy Dean. The music was good, the wine and food very good, and the company was fantastic.
When we finished at Silver Oak we headed down the road to their other winery, Twomey. We walked in and it was very busy at the tasting bar so Pete told them we'd be sitting on the patio and could they bring the wine to us there.....well, they did just that! It's good to be with wine rock stars. I think we're getting used to the VIP treatment.
Oh, none of us bought a single bottle! The value just wasn't there.
