PS I Love You’s Third Annual Petite Sirah Food & Wine signature event.

To purchase tickets and by pass all of this rhetoric, you can go right now to the PS I Love You site. On the left-hand side of the page, click on BUY TICKETS NOW, and off you go!

As soon as tickets went on sale, I was astounded that tickets were immediately sold to Lowell Jacobson of Virginia (known as PSychos’ Path Blogspot, complete with his own musings about PS), as well as more fans from Chicago, Michigan, and all around the state of California ~ from Chico to Long Beach.

Each year, this event sells out, because it’s more about quality than quantity. So if you have any interest, think about it earlier versus later!

• WHO: PS I Love You member wineries
