The Latest from Karl Lawrence Cellars
Michael will be in New York city for the Michael Skurnik tasting during the March 9 week. He's been known to also poke his head into a few nice restaurants and wine shops. So keep on the lookout for him.
This past Sunday the Amgen Tour of California passed thru the Napa Valley. Our party of 30 watched from Matt and Kari Anderson's driveway on Howell Mountain Rd. It rained about three inches that day. Lance Armstrong is the second rider. He said that it was his most miserable day riding ever.

It's Friday the 13th. What were you doing at one this morning. The Karl Lawrence family got a new addition. I got left home as Cheryl went to the hospital to help with the delivery of Mike & Wendy Henry's baby Oliver. Cheryl took the pictures.
Bryan delivered Oliver with Mike's help.
Mike gives Wendy her due after she did all the work. It doesn't matter now that he was way past due.
And for hopefully the last time; Iowa is a cooler area. So anyone living in a place around, or similar to Iowa; you will receive your Offering Letter the first week of March.

While in Ft. Lauderdale we went out to dinner at Casa D'Angelo with Mike and Alison DeYoung. The chef-owner, Angelo Elia, came out and toured us thru his showroom cellar. We had a fabulous dinner. So stop by when you're in the area.

For those of you who love to dance and have great wine, check out the Soroptimist party this coming August 1. Besides Karl Lawrence, wine will be supplied by Clif Family, Flora Springs, J3, and Regusci. Food will be provided by Go Fish, Azteca, The Soroptimists, and Crane Carter. The band will be the Four Shotz. They're the same band that played at our 35th wedding anniversary party last December. They play danceable rock n' roll. My dentist is the bass player. It's $100/ person and will be here in the field between my office and the Beckstoffer Dr. Crane Vineyard. You can email me for tickets. Check out the poster below.

While I was away at the Blues Cruise, the cats that stayed here, that is to say, Jefferson, Mike H., and his younger brothers, Ben, and Mathew, got the Offering Letter out to those of you in the warmer areas. So now I've come home to a lot of questions as to what constitutes a warmer area. Well, the easy answers are: Pittsburg is not a warmer area. Neither is Cleveland. VA is a place that is on the cusp. Last year it was considered a warmer area. This year, Jefferson made an executive decision and moved it into the cooler areas. So VA and the rest of you all that haven't received the Offering Letter yet; you'll get it the first week of March.
Our good friends, Barry and Holly Walter, from the South Bay, purchased this year's Karl Lawrence 3 L, with the etched & painted Blues Cruise logo on it, at the Blues Foundation Charity Auction. As you can see, many blues artists signed the bottle.
And of course, no Blues Cruise can go by without a shot of St. Helena's own favorite son, Kester Smith. He was up for two Grammy's the other day. One for Taj Mahal's Maestro disc and the second for Pinetop Perkins' Pinetop Perkins & Friends.
