Brad will, I assume, be leading the attack, flash camera in hand.

Pardon me if this is a lame question, but will this include any of the actual winemakers or just their wines?

Not that they've ever come anywhere near my town (and I, admittedly, haven't made the effort to go to them), but this post should tell you all you need to know. Plus, it's one of my all-time favorite wine-related pictures.

Cheers,

Dave

Wow. Is that really Brun on the left? He looks... different.
 
The In-N-Out founders are wine geeks? I didn't know that.
We had an offline at the Las Vegas In-N-Out but we didn't know that.
 
Sweet. Looks like us Portlanders are getting something offensive. I can hardly wait. Some of my favorite winemakers are on that list.

Also, whoever shot that In-n-Out video thinks people read really, really, slowly.
 
The video reminded me a bit of this board: lots of people swilling and talking at the same time, with most of the inside jokes over my head. I guess the 'politburo' would be that metro patrol car in the background.

Cheers.
 
Way to go, Joe, I'm looking forward to it. I like the way you're shifting away from the front lines into the job of supreme commander, coordinating a brilliant pincer maneuver on our senses. Like Dwight D, your sensitivity, restraint and delicate diplomatic touch recommend you for this role.

Uh, yeah. This has nothing whatsoever to do with Disorder.

Reva should have tipped you off.
