Just thought I'd tell you folks, if you note an air of familiarity between myself and californiagirl - she's my daughter. Out of the three kids, she's the wine geek. Her goal is to open a wine shop in the next few years - in Northern California surrounded by multiple BevMos, Safeways, Albertsons, Raleys, Luckys, etc. Tell her what she's in for, Foodie.

in for a ride...

Love you Dad... not quite my plan though! Remember??? It's that selective memory thing, huh? I want to open a wine bar/store. Do the tasting thing with 2oz, 4oz, 1/2 bottle, full bottle... flights, etc... nouveau h'ors d'ourves... mini deserts. Wine available for sale, also. I know, I know... latest and greatest craze, but won't last long.

By the way KC, you can't do those things at any of those stores! Accept bevmo, they have tastings on Saturdays for $.25, wine and beer.

Two-Bits? WOW think I'll fly out next Sat.Such a bargain!. WW [img]http://wines.com/ubb2/wink.gif[/img]

Good luck with your plans CalGirl. I'm glad you will be planning to provide food choices with the tastings. I love going to Enoteca Vin in Raleigh which has both full dinners and what they call small bowls and also offers pours from 1.5 oz. to 5 oz. or you can purchase a bottle. Sometimes I stop in there to have one or two small pours and then go to another restaurant for dinner, but usually I do have dinner there because they have a great female chef.

CG - let me know when the store is open and where it is.

I have family in Sacramento who are all wine drinkers. I'm sure they would stop by and say hello!

californiagirl · 03-19-2004, 09:42 AM,

WW, don't they have BevMo in arizona? Check out their site, it tells you what's going on for the next 3-4 weeks.

californiagirl · 03-19-2004, 09:45 AM,

See Dad.. not such a bad idea... if only I could get you to move out here to this lovely weather and help

Could happen. [img]http://wines.com/ubb2/cool.gif[/img]

I can see it now--a family wine and food bar. Makes me think of John Belushi and his famous cheeseboodger counter, only this one will offer a glass of Boordgurndy with beefboordgournoin!

One more winter here and I might apply for a job.

Hey calgirl, are you coming to the Glenora bash in May with your aging dad???

Kcwhippet · 03-19-2004, 04:09 PM,

She doesn't even know about it. By the way, Foodie, is there a final count of people coming to Glenora?

winoweenie · 03-19-2004, 06:27 PM,

Yeah verily, must know the bodies. Mite have to bting another stash. WW

californiagirl · 03-19-2004, 09:05 PM,

Know about what???

californiagirl · 03-19-2004, 09:08 PM,

KC, I'm checking out a new winebar in Rocklin tomorrow night called Eureka & Vines Wine Bar. I'll let you know all about it on Sunday.

winoweenie · 03-20-2004, 07:57 AM,

No Bev-Mors here in the desert CalGirl. Our best deal is a 2-buck pour(not Chuck) of 2ozs. WW

Thomas · 03-20-2004, 09:05 AM,

The last count I remember was 16. Maybe Glenora can elaborate.

The bad news: I will be in the middle of renovating our kitchen--still want the Sunday gathering at the ranch, if possible, but if the weather does not cooperate, cooking indoors will be, well, I won't be able to without a kitchen...

So, that gathering here will be weather-related.
