So we’re off to Tomales Bay with a small group of customers and Wine Bench members this weekend (Mike-the winemaker, Tony (aka ‘Nature Boy’-the cellarmaster and vineyard biologist, and myself) to take in some fresh air, some great views, and……..LOTS of oysters. First the hike, then………..lunch: an oyster picnic at Hog Island Oyster Company in Tomales Bay with some of our awesome wines.
We leave the rest of the team behind to take great care of our guests and host Friday night music at the winery (we do this every Friday from May-Oct!) One of the most wonderful thing about this winery is that there’s always something going on. If Tony’s not in the cellar or at an event-he might be out in the vegetable garden picking fresh veggies for us to enjoy (I’m taking basil home tonight-mmmm…..) or writing us all an email about the happenings with Mother Nature in the vineyard. There’s a good chance you’ll see Jacques out in his bee suit checking on the bee hives or on that rare occassion, getting some yummy honey for us all to enjoy at our weekly morning meetings…….
I’ll be posting pictures of our these two events (our Bastille Day Luncheon and the Tomales Bay picnic) in the next week. Stay tuned!
