¡Salud! success

wow, i really am the worst blogger on the planet.  i do all my updates on facebook, so i forget (or fail to take the time) to update my blog. 

today i have a reason to update since i have this amazing photo to share.  doesn't my husband look awfully dashing in a tux?   

it was taken by my friend carolyn wells-kramer at the ¡Salud! auction on saturday night.  she is a great wine country photograper here in the valley. 

the new zealand travel package i put together was the highest earner of the night, fetching a whopping $15,000!  that package itself will give nearly 188 vineyard workers comprehensive preventative medical, dental and vision care next year.  very cool!

at last glance, we had sold 16 tickets for the nz/oregon pinot noir "showdown" tasting, so less than 20 to sell and still two months to do it in.  we should get there!
