A few weeks back we had a discussion on the PFF about wine and we volunteered to host a simple introduction to wines at our boat house, The BSH. So, Friday, the 14th at about 6:30PM grab a bottle of wine that you like -NO Boones Farm, Gallo Night Train :boo.

We have proof that we have enjoyed a few bottles of wine as one interior wall in the BSH is covered with corks. After retirement, we drove back to Sonoma County and worked in a friend's vineyard and winery for about a year, 1990-1991. We learned more about wine in that period of time than we could have in years. We will discuss our experiences as well as why we like "Old Vine Zinfandel". Plus you can find out why we call it "The BSH".

In addition to your bottle, you may bring a snack to share, nothing too spicey that would hamper wine tasting, but something like cheese or crackers, etc.

Please call or PM for our address as I do not want to post it on our public forum.

Hey Tom!

Thanks,

My wife and I will be there, what is the dress ? Casual ?????

oldflathead

How many folks?

So far, about 5 couples from the PFF and probably five couples or so neighbors, so around 20 - 25. We have had as few as six and as many as 40 at our TGIF get togethers.



Casual dress. Neck ties will be cut off and nailed to the overhead.:letsparty:letsparty



We began our Friday after work gatherings of friends and neighbors at the BSH almost ten years ago. Neighbors would walk down Edgewater with a bottle and snax. Those who live across the bayou come by canoe, kayak, jon boat or whatever. We sit around, imbibe moderately, share food and stories.



Nothing fancy.



We try to avoid "polyticks", except local issues. We have had various candidates for local positions speak to us, as well as elected officials. We have had our District 2 Commish' here a time or to to question some issue we felt impacted us, otherwise we gab about boats, fishing, hunting, boats sail and power, WX, local news and did I say BOATS.



See y'all tonight at 301 Edgewater. Come through the gate on the east side of the house and follow the red brick path down to the BSH by the bayou.



Anyone want any bait for Saturday? I can put my pinfish trap in.
