Oh hurray! You have become my favorite wine blogger, I am so easily bought. I love Petite Sirah, and I love food, so you have made this wine blogger incredibly happy. I am incredibly eager to attend Dark and Delicious.
I applied for one of the 16 fellowships being offered for the Symposium for Professional Wine Writers at Meadowood Napa. I sincerely hope to be in the position where I am driving from the closing event tasting, after a little rest, from Napa to Alameda. After applying, I found that past recipients include Tish, so I don’t count on the Symposium – the other fellowship applicants include long time professionals. I’ll know in a week.
Anyway, I’m attending. Thanks!
Now, I just have to find a date.
John, Too funny! Good luck with the possible fellowship. I know that Steve Heimoff is going to be there (as a guest speaker), so you’ll get to know him better. (I’m projecting the success of getting your fellowship.)
Find that date and see you in February!
