Changes is constant here at Michel Schlumberger. As we are nearing the end of our Friday Night Courtyard Music Series (we’ve two more to go!), I’d like to thank all of the musicians who came early and stayed late to play here. We’re obviously not a big venue drawing thousands of fans but I’ve heard many a musician say that there’s no finer place to play. Once it gets dark and the courtyard lights come on, it truly is a special place. One of our main goals here at the Estate is to support our local economy by supporting local charities, artists and of course musicians. Most of these guys and gals have day jobs, so it takes a lot of work to make it up here and then turn on the amps. As a fellow musician, I know it takes a lot of prep work but once you’re here, it’s a blast. So Big Thanks from us at Michel Schlumberger!

Steve Pile
Last Friday was the first significant rain we’ve had this season. It was nice to finally see some moisture in the sky. We had to scramble a bit for our Friday Night Music and move the festivities into the salon. Steve Pile played and he put on a great show. One of the benefits of the indoor action was the salon was transformed into more of a cozy wine bar. We brought the couches in and rearranged the funiture a bit. Our “bar” was moved into the kitchen like old times and everyone who’d been here before remembered the good old days of tasting in there. We liked the salon lay out so much we’re keeping the setup. My question is to you is what type of music is most condusive to wine enjoyment. I know what I like and I think Steve Pile fits the bill well but I wanna know what you prefer.
