Cardinale

I was telling anyone who would listen that the last time I was at Cardinale
the tasting room was a single-wide trailer surrounded by building materials.
It was January of 2000 and Susie was pouring:

I didn't catch the whole story, but Tiffani apparently over ordered some
logo corkscrews.  It turned into a running joke.  We teased her mercilessly.

Terry got such a kick out of the corkscrew story,
he bought one for each of us!
Thanks Terry!!

Dick kindly signed some of the bottles.

Instant collector's items!

And since he was at it, 
I asked him to sign my corkscrew!

I was going to ask Tiffani to kiss it too, but...

Gary gave me an Opus X cigar!
Guess I'm going to have open them pre-embargo Havanas.
How the heck am I going to get through the rest of my smokes?!
