New Date, Feb 22 Members Tasting with AU

We moved our Feb 1 Members Only Tasting due to the Super Bowl to Feb 22nd at 7pm.  Like any good business, when your handed lemons, you make lemonade.. so when we found out that Feb 22nd is the Academy Awards, I am now making the Feb 22nd event an Academy Awards party and justifying the purchase of a 60 inch plasma screen for the new HD system at the loft…. Lemonade anyone?  How about a glass of GRANGE instead – we will taste the icon wines of AUSTRALIA and QANTAS VACATIONS will be doing some nice things for the members.  Almost sold out, but we would love to know if you interested in attending.
