I'm going to try and make this but not sure if I can due to work. Keeping my fingers crossed.

I've been in touch with Chris last week several times and although me mentioned hitting CA, he did not even tell me about this tasting. However, I will be heading to the other coast for a different tasting. Bad timing on my part ... but also on his. Chris is a great guy and if you all can make that tasting, you really should go out of your way to be there. I've done tastings with Chris in NYC and in CA (and Portugal of course) and he is a lot of fun!

Would love to go, but there's no way, unfortunately. If he does another in San Francisco some time, that might work out.
