The Latest from Karl Lawrence Cellars
THE TAX MAN COMETH
Tuesday, March 03, 2009
.On April 1, the California sales tax goes up 1% for all orders shipped to and taken delivery in California. So its wise to have your order in before the deadline. Please have your orders into our office by the end of the closing day on Wednesday, March 25. Jefferson will then process all the California orders with the current sales tax rate. Any order received after that will be taxed at the new rate.

The Offering Letters, to those of you living in the cooler areas, are going out this week. For the most part, this is good shipping weather. So order early to avoid having to go by air.
The economy is effecting the Napa Valley. Some restaurants closed during the month of January. One restaurant closed all together. A number of tasting rooms have closed during the mid week times. Many larger wineries with a number of tasting rooms, have closed some of them. Maybe during this time, some wineries will bring their pricing down to Karl Lawrence levels. We have always been a good deal. These times make Karl Lawrence an even greater deal.
Maryanne Layne (of Layne Vineyards), Stacey Bressler (of Bressler), & Elizabeth Naylor (of Karl Lawrence, of course) celebrate Stacey's and Les Behrens (of Behrens-Hitchcock) birthdays along with 200+ guests at St. Helena's Native Sons Hall. Jeff Smith's band (of Hourglass), Wristrocket, provided the dance music. The co-age of the co-birthday people will remain a St. Helena secret.
Mile 18 of 26.2.
My brother, Bryan runs the Napa Valley Marathon again, along side my son-in-law, Chris Pratt (of Staglin) during a rain day where the yellow mustard carpeting the vineyard rows gave us a glorius Vincent Van Gogh day. At the finish, it was age before beauty as Chris finished a few minutes ahead.
