the truck arrives with all of the wines for the day. Up first - Chardonnay, as Barry Rossum check his list of wines to be poured; many of the winemakers also acted as sommeliers, pouring all four flights of wine in rapid order. .

our setting was a secluded canyon off Santa Rosa Road. the concept was to have 4 seminar/tastings - one of Chardonnay and three of Pinot Noir. Attendees were to pick one of two tents, and were able to remain in their "assigned" seats for each of the seminars, because the panelists rotated rather than the attendees. Superb idea!
