Gettin' Ready for the Big Shindig






We're having the annual Thank You party for our wine club members at the winery tomorrow. We're not the sort of winery that throws parties every day, so we've been sweating and scheming, organizing to the point of everything else falling so far off the front burner that it's now on the floor next to the stove. Angela has done a great job.

Pedro has planted new flowers in front of the old house, weed-whacked the dichondra, and he, Frederico and Santiago have put up the vast shadecloth to keep our guests cool and comfortable (utilizing some maneuvers with the forklift of which OSHA definitely would not have approved). Susan, Billie, Angela and I made the flower arrangements with flowers that Susan and Angela picked up at five in the morning at the San Francisco flower market. George has drawn the barrel tasting samples and the old 1970s fridge is stocked with cold white and pink wines.

I think we're ready.
