Also, would it be possible to meet for lunch instead of dinner? After looking at their menu it seems their dinner prices are a bit steep - at least this time around :o); ▶ Reply to This

Actually, what do you think of sitting at the bar and order appetizers with our wine? The full meals are a bit heavy but their appetizer portions are perfect as a meal. I've done that numerous times with friends and it works out perfectly and is much less expensive (appetizers there are about $10)!

But lunch would be OK too, just let me know what you think about the other idea and we can make the change. :0); ▶ Reply to This

Ok...see you at 6 on the 6th!; ▶ Reply to This

We went to Casa Rondena winery last Sunday and were there for about 3 hours just sipping wine and chatting. This meet-up includes appetizers so God knows how long we'll be there :o) By all means feel free to come and meet us. The more the merrier!; ▶ Reply to This

That's a good point. We didn't need to develop any method the first time because there were only four of us who met and we were in two groups (myself and a friend, Misterman and his partner). We do plan on sitting at the bar, which is not very large. It will be four of us again (two men and two women unless more people respond). My friend and I both have long dark hair and fair skin, Misterman (Kevin) has short blonde hair and David has short dark hair.

How about I post a message earlier that day (the 6th) and describe what I plan to wear? I can plan on wearing a bright colored shirt. :-); ▶ Reply to This
