The Coffee House

36F ain't perfect for this Southern California native son.

Gary you and Maggie would have enjoyed it. We've had almost surreal blue skies of late, and this morning was no exception. The air had a crispness free from pollution. All that was needed was a light jacket, at a brisk walk it was perfect, not to hot, not to cold. We stopped at Sadie's favorite spot on a ridge close to the property line. The birds were singing, Sadie was fully focused, and a shaft of sunlight was coming through the trees illuminating her. It was like everything was in extreme detail, even her breath. Really sorry I didn't have the camera with me.

I'd watch pregame of a football game at the LA Coliseum if USC plays Tusk, then I'd be outta there, looking for the Duck Pond.

That Coliseum shows up often enough in old TV shows late night on ME TV. It is a cool looking building.

I always liked that song and video, but why is it called Tusk anyway?

It's cold!!! frost and freeze warnings! no more grass pollen! no more whatever else has been blowing around out there!

Isn't it great? I just bought a brand new, king size electric blanket for the bed. It's been dipping lower and lower at night lately, and we had a frost last night.

Turned the furnace on this morning just to break the chill and make sure it's working.

It's finally fall, hosers!!

"Fire Recovery Pre-order - 100% of sales goes to charity
Preorder for $60
Give $60 to fire recovery efforts and get 6 bottles of red
Every cent spent on this 6-pack gets donated to the fire relief and recovery efforts in California. As the dust settled, we knew we could do more to help the devastated communities that needed it – we commit to donating ALL sales from this pre-order until we raise $500,000 for fire relief."

Gary contributed to the cause.

@Gary A. Sounds like a worth cause, wouldn't it be good to share a link as to who is doing it????

 

[Gary A.]

Here's the entire text/email. I don't know if this is available to non-members of Naked Wine. The six-pack is half priced at $60. These guys represent a number of small, independent vintners around the world. They have a 100% guarantee, if you don't like the wine they'll give you 100% refund, no questions asked.

"Pre-order this special 6-pack — 100% of sales will go to fire relief and recovery charities

Hi Gary,

Now that the dust has settled, it feels wrong to be carrying on like nothing’s happened
The Napa and Sonoma wildfires took a toll on so many families around us… we have to do more to help the devastated communities that need it most.

It’s clear that there are communities that still need help
Entire communities lost their homes, so we want to double the $250,000 you already raised. Communities will need to be rebuilt from scratch — and with your help we can get Napa, Sonoma and Santa Rosa back on their feet.

Let’s raise $500,000 and get you a 6-pack of unforgettable reds as a reward
The guys who work at your Angel-funded winery have a brilliant idea to raise half a MILLION dollars. They’re making a red wine, and if you pre-order a 6-pack 100% of sales will go to fire relief.

Two weeks ago, your cellar team felt helpless as the Sonoma fires burned all around Kenwood. The flames were literally yards away from your Angel-funded winery, and if the winds had blown a little differently that day, we would have lost a year’s production.

Once the dust settled and the winery was re-opened, your wine team was amazed to discover that hundreds of gallons of delicious wine remained intact. And they knew immediately… they had to do something extraordinary.

That’s why your passionate cellar crew is stepping up and making you a relief red — and all sales will go to neighborhoods in need.

You get unforgettable wine, and together we’ll DOUBLE our donation and raise a half a MILLION dollars
They’re currently putting the finishing touches on your brand-new exclusive blend, arriving in or around March 2018. When you pre-order a 6-pack today, 100% of your money (except for taxes) benefits those impacted by California’s devastating wildfires.

Order this fire recovery 6-pack for $60 and you’ll save $52.99 with delivery included to your door.

Every penny will immediately go back into the communities of Napa, Sonoma and Santa Rosa… the best thanks we can give.

Pre-order 6 special wines — and 100% of sales go to charity
You’re helping us do so much good in the world. How can I thank you enough?

So grateful for you,
Rowan, Founder

PS - To have the biggest impact possible, we’re letting you get as many 6-packs as your heart desires

I knew it was wine related from the "six pack" term. Not beer! It's nice of them to do this.

One would think it may be self-serving as the fires affected some/many vineyards. But the monies going to all sectors hit hardest by the fires. 3,000 home in the City of Santa Rosa alone were destroyed. I've been a member for a while and I've never received a bottle of wine short of delicious. So 50% off, All Dollars going to Relief, Great Vino ... Win-Win! (The only problem is the wine won't be delivered until it matures in March of next year.)

Dave has had wine before. Some of it pretty good. Would love to order some to help those people. But we need our own sort of help. And that's the way it is.

Mary Lou just surprised Gary with this book. Who wants a Lime Sorbet ... Tropical Margarita Sorbet ... Walnut Ice Cream with Pomegranate... Avocado Ice Cream ... ?
