Well now I'm just completely jealous. I'm kinda annoyed with you. Because I'm not going to be going along on these last few days. Won't be going on the earlier days either, but these last few days look so spectacular that I am actually irritated at you...

OK, fit over

- I'm looking forward to hearing all about all these new wineries!! You have really lined up a terrific assortment. You and Mrs Hawkeye have remarkable stamina!!
The VIP tour at no charge! Super cool!
I'll be interested to hear of your take on Pine Ridge. We've been twice and neither time were we wowed...
I will REALLY be interested in the Thomas Brown wineries! I will definitely plan on visiting those next time we go.

Now you just have to sit back and wait for October to get here!
