Hi all,

Live music this Saturday at 6 PM! Bob Ravenscroft on piano and Dwight Kilian on the standup bass will be performing. No cover and no minimum.

Valley of the Sun has changed representatives for us so by way of introduction our new rep, Lily Wang, will be replacing Carol Howard at this week’s wine class. On Friday, the 16th, we will start with a Pinot Grigio and a Sauvignon Blanc from the Pepi Winery. Then especially for Clifton we will taste the appellation series of Pinot Noirs from La Crema. Those are the ones from Los Carneros, Russian River and Anderson Valley. And we will finish off with Peachy Canyon’s Westside Zin. Be nice to Lily for bringing in such a fine line up.

The presentation Friday will start promptly at 6:00 PM. Remember this “ain’t LA” (thank goodness) so don’t be late. The wine class costs $10 per person and all the featured wines are 10% off. For the money you get to try the wines during the wine class and compliment them with the best food at any wine class in the state.

Thanks to everyone that showed up last Friday. You were great and Ron’s presentation was very well received. It really is too bad that he couldn’t give away all those great gifts he brought with him. Wink, wink!

The 3rd Annual Cave Creek Wines Wine Trip is on! We will be in Sonoma from July 25th thru the 28th. We’ll fly into and out of Oakland. We are staying at the Flamingo Resort in Santa Rosa. Cost for the weekend is about $800 person based upon double occupancy. We have a couple of spaces left. A $400 deposit by cash or check will get you in on this fun trip.

Bob Ravenscroft and Dwight Kilian as Inner Journeys will play their great jazz on the 3rd Saturday of each month and that is this coming Saturday, May 17th. And it is official that Bryne Donaldson is going to show us what a saxophone can sound like on the first Saturday of each month. It should be a fun summer to get to hear such talented musicians twice each month.

Justin Orphan is back! I asked the distributor for all we could have and got a total of 2 cases. It is the same price as last year, $16.99 per bottle and every bit as good. We’ve got it behind the bar so you’ll have to ask for it.

Have fun,
Liza and Bob
