Sounds lovely. I've met very few Zins I didn't like...

Starting to get complicated. DG

Can I get that in a box?

I thought a case has 24 bottles. You wine people are getting ripped off.

Berries, pepper, & chocolate... and all in wine.... ahhhh love.... add coffee and I am set for life!

[janetb]

Hear, hear! (raising toast to Sequoiacoast, and of course, Tim, for that todiefor description...)

[BamCamper]

Sounds like Sequoia and Janet and I will be dropping by DG's for a wine tasting. I'll bring a couple of Central Coast bottles along too.

[Babeebloos]

Okay.....Just tie me up and 'drag' me along too.... I'll bring my 'real' wine glass too

[Condoluminum]

Just saw disturbing evidence that Margarita Ball and Secret Handshake are threatened by new ultimate weapon of Margarita drinkers...

THE MARGARATOR!!!


This device offers 12V or 110V mixing, and combines tequila, mix and ice into a gallon of perfect frozen Margarita's at your campsite... I'm hoping Dianne doesn't discover it before Casini, but fear this could obsolete Margie Balls everywhere.... Oh, the Humanity!!

AND, our local BevMo claimed that Happy Camper Wine shipments have been suspended, and winery may not still be bottling.. Thank goodness for Tim and his Lodi appelation vintners...

[str8strm]

John: Real margarita drinkers drink'em on the rocks. That frozen stuff won't fly. I think the status of the NorCal M-Balls is safe. Now, in a pinch, we could always hold a frozen one over a Fire Dancer and then add ice.

[BamCamper]

The more margaritas *hic* the merrier!

Hey kevbo...this bud's for you.
2 extra points if you know where it is.

I was wrong about Sue having a vintage SOB. She will be camping in her 1958 Overlander. Cool, cool!

For some reason, my brain always lumps Luminati and pinkflamingoes together. Maybe because they are family. But I have to say it wouldn't be the same if Ingrid was not there. If Ingrid actually ever brings a trailer, that would be weird, too. hahaha

I am glad to see this thread finally cooled off. It was so hot there for a moment, I thought it might melt my computer. haha

How we gonna sort this one out? Tim 1 and Tim 2; Linda Lu's Tim and Kimber's Tim, or maybe we could go by our Forum names- Me being doorgunner or DG and the other Tim as Buttercup or BC. Don't want any confusion at Casini, that's for sure. Aloha DG Tim doorgunner Kauai kayaker.

[pinkflamingoes]

Yep! With fresh squeezed lime juice and simple syrup, Cointreau and your choice of Anything But Jose Cuervo.

ms. bam,

i like this photo.

it has personality written all over it.

and someone took the time to snap the shutter, which makes it even more promising to me...

while i pride myself on animal on the roof pics,

i must take a general guess (always wrong, last i knew) as to location...

central california? say the middle of california from the border of nevada, to say, the coast...

kevbo

ps ms bam, please... Coors regular in the ranger sized bottle....

[BamCamper]

A hint: I snapped the photo last week when I was visiting south-ish...

[codybear]

A minor correction, Big Dee: Steve and I will be arriving on Thursday..
also 52 B is no longer open.

ms. bam,

find below a picture taken today.

it's from a not so famous, but very visable place...

between north of Los Angeles, and say Williams, AZ.

shot from the back lot.

It's in the equestrian district (who knew?) of Glendale.
