The holidays may be over but the parties never end.  Drop in any Saturday afternoon from 4 to 6pm and you will find some of Palm Springs’ finest enjoying fine wines while visiting and gossiping.  It is always a fine way to launch a Saturday night.  As Zola and I will be away the next four Saturdays, the following is a schedule of hosts and their wines. 

PLEASE KEEP THIS SCHEDULE FOR IT IS THE ONLY ONE TO BE SENT OUT UNTIL OUR RETURN.

If you are enamored of the cruise scene (boating, that is) check out the attachment for the 10 day sail down the Mexican Riviera and into the sea of Cortez, exploring the wines and Tequilas of Mexico along the way.  Fellow wine taster and party person, Mike Brill, has set up an interesting excursion departing San Diego on October 12 aboard Holland America.
