He will once again lead a tour in March 2010 to Vendemia Argentina In the meantime, here we are in August 2009. LAWineFest sent letters to all winery participants and exhibitors reporting on the 2009 event and noting there was advance interest in our 2010 fest, which is scheduled for June 5,6. The location will be determined soon. All of a sudden, we have been receiving responses and inquiries as to registration. Three months earlier than last year, we have our first registration --Roxo Port Cellars LLC, of Paso Robles. Nearly the last winery to sign up for the 2009 event, they are the first to go up on the board. I know they had a great experience this year, and know they'll do well at our next winefest. Wineries two and three are on their way, as are the first exhibitors. So, off I go now to meetings in Paso Robles, Sonoma, Napa and San Francisco. Enjoy the continuing summer.
