A few details about this week

The weather is supposed to be spectacular. 70 degrees and no mosquitoes yet. My cell: 214-280-4467. I am available for all BWE needs, wine-related and otherwise. I would advise you guys to share cabs, especially Friday, as the Friday venues are a bit further from the hotel than the Thurs./Sat. night...

Re: How many whoopie pies should I bring to Dallas?

Texas definately needs some whoopie pie -- stores sell them here, but they're a poor replica of the real thing. We have 25-26 people coming on saturday evening. I know my 8 year old would like 10-20 dozen on top of that. :P
