Everyone did their best to thin out the 4,000+ bottles that are housed in a cellar, on top of a hill, buried in a backyard!
The outdoor wood fired pizza oven was once again a major hit with the attendees. Pizza’s made to order was a nice touch to a perfect evening of wine and fellowship.
The sunset was spectacular and we have the pictures to prove it!
