Wine Bottling Date: Friday, July 25th @ 8PM

It's official: the long-awaited bottling of the 2013 Rick's Red (75% Syrah/25% Primativo blend) has been scheduled for 8PM Friday night, July 25th. Hopefully, this date & time will work with everyone, as usual the scheduling process was not at all smooth, and I literally had to go and find an open time in the schedule book after the emails and voicemails met with silencia. A MeetingWizard email will go out shortly to confirm RSVPs.

Similar to our memorable "Bud's White" 2005 blend, this year's wine is dedicated to founding RSWC members Rick (& Barb) Urrutia and will feature Rick's smiling mug on the label. There's been interest in collecting additional money or donating a bottle from each case to Barb. With the addition of the Redwood Shores Tennis Club wanting a case and interest from tennis-playing PCC member and noted red wine aficionado Lisa McKenna (and, whether he is aware of it or not, her good husband "Pedal Steel" Bill), availability is looking pretty tight.

 

Action time (crunch time before crush time): If you have not sent in checks for this special vintage, please do so now ($185 per case). We have to settle the account before bottling, so please take care of this straight away. Thanks so far to Evelyn, Kathy, Jay & Irene and Paul & Anette. In addition to mailing a check, you can also do a PayPal "Family & Friend" transfer if you are so inclined.
