- Friday, June 10, 2011 I was up at Devoto Garden on Thursday, a fine day in the low 70’s, bright and clear. These pictures are from the 828 block (2.75 acres).

- Monday, November 08, 2010 See you this Sunday, November 14th, for the Soiree Des Arts et des Vins, a lovely, eclectic Hayes Valley gathering of 20+ vintners presenting their wines along with music and small bites from restaurants across the city. This event had a very fun, local feel last Spring, a nice time to meet neighbors and the folks behind some of our restaurants and wines. Wait Cellars will be pouring its 2008 Russian River Pinot Noir. If you like any of the wines you taste, you may then buy them at a special discounted price. Proceeds from the event benefit the International School.
- Tuesday, October 26, 2010 Just a quick post to let you all know that we’ll be pouring our 2008 Russian River Pinot Noir at the Crushbarrel Wine Market this Saturday, October 30th, from 12pm to 5pm at Fort Mason. These events ae always pretty fun, and you can buy wines on the spot after you taste — time to get a jump on holiday shopping?! Hope to see you there!
