From Wine and Beyond…

In this edition, I want to invite everybody to the many wine events that will be coming up this year. We have tried to spread the events out and we have many newcomers to the Club. We have also tried to build a diversity of events so that each will be fresh and enjoyable to attend. We will have wines from Howell Mountain, Napa, Alexander Valley, Paso Robles and possibly a collection from Italy. A few of the wine dinners will consist of wineries that we will be visiting on the upcoming Napa trip in July. These have been notated with an asterisk.

Enjoy!

Join our Club staff as we visit beautiful Costa Rica and its outstanding Los Sueños Resort and Marina. Costa Rica is really a wonderful vacation destination. With one of the oldest and most stable democracies in the Americas, Costa Rica is relatively close to the U.S. and includes clean, uncrowded beaches; a happy, friendly population; and beautiful scenery. If you’re looking for a great fall vacation getaway, Costa Rica is the perfect choice. With ideal accommodations, adventure experiences and relaxation, what more could you ask for?

Where Do You Spend Your Time?

I recently read a story retold by the father of a young family of three that included himself, his wife and their young daughter. According to his recounting, after dinner they were each challenged to share an object symbolic of how they would describe one another to a stranger. When it was the daughter’s turn to share the item she thought to be representative of her father, she produced a cell phone. At her young age, she wasn’t taking a sarcastic “shot” at her dad, rather, it was how she truly saw him when he was home.
