IIDD, July 21st

Hi Ingenierio Jugos!

Your Tullibardine is nestled safely in the malt case. I'll pick up the olives and cheese later today so all we need is your speedy arrival! Maggie has been asking, over last few days, "When is Dom Pedros coming to sleep on the deck with me?"

Keep forgetting to ask about Ted. How did he fare with Grand Fondo? Be curious to hear his thoughts on the various stages of the course and how he found them.

Depending on your flight, baggage, etc., it might be quicker to take Sky Train to Olympic Village. If you phone, (604-734-9200), just before you go underground at Cambie and Marine, (Clan Sutherland has the timing down to a science, having done this many, many times since line became operational.), I'm sure some teetotaler could meet you at Olympic Village to ferry you back to the Island Inn. Chauffeur could even bring a few snorts of malts along to help you catch up!!! Anyway, let us know what you'd like to do. Enjoy Denver. Supposed to be sunny here on Friday so we may well be able to "banish" wine drinkers to patio! Cheers, Patrizio!

Hi Donna Florida and Cactoosian!

Trust you managed to smuggle your hootch into Seattle! Maggie had been forlorn ever since your departure! Quiet night at The Island Inn last night. Cora Lee had a Friends of VPL meeting and we ate when she came home, watching an episode of MI-5 that Chloë had recorded for us. Will be getting ready for Malt Tasting tomorrow so plenty to do.

Have included the following from Coffaro:

Subject: Coffaro 2010 Futures Release and Pick-Up Party
Date: Fri Jul 15 16:44:07 PDT 2011
Just as promised... the 2010 futures you've pre-ordered and paid for have been bottled and you can take
possession of your order, effective immediately, with a couple of exceptions** (see NOTE below).

THE DETAILS OF GETTING YOUR ORDER

* We're hosting a 2010 Release Open House here at the winery on Saturday and Sunday, August 20th and 21st,
from 11:00 to 4:00 each day. This will be a great time to come pick up your 2010 order because you'll be able to
taste all the newly-bottled wines and make changes to your selections, if you wish. We'll also have a casual
buffet luncheon available all day to accompany your wine tasting.

* You may bring up to two guests who are not members of Dave's Wine Club or our Vintage Circle program.
Additional guests will be at $15 each.

* If you can't make it to the event, you can of course pick up your 2010 wine at any time through May of
2012. We are open daily, 11:00 to 4:00, with the exception of a few major holidays. Keep in mind, though, that
the only time we'll be opening up all the 2010 wines for tasting is at the Release Event in August and at our
annual Winter Open House in December. Or, of course, you can arrange to have your wine shipped. We've just
updated the shipping form which allows you to choose any week beginning August 15, 2011 and ending in May of
next year, so go ahead and fill out the shipping form now, even though you might not want your order delivered
until later in the year. This way we know you've received our notice and also, you won't forget about making
arrangements to receive your wine. The form is at https://coffaro.com/shop/shippingform.html.

**PLEASE NOTE: if you've ordered 2010 ZP2C, that wine won't be bottled and available until the release event in
mid-August, and if you've ordered the 2010 Ultimate Cuvee or any of our 16-month aged 2010 wines, those wines
won't be available until February of 2012.**

The 2010 vintage is going to be another stellar year, a vintage that will be long lasting and will age
beautifully for many years to come. We're looking forward to getting it to you!

Cheers from us,

Dave, Pat, Matt and Cindi

If you are interested in attending party, I'll contact Pat and let her know that you will be picking up our wine. No big deal if not as we'll worry about collection at some later date.

Thanks again for wonderful visit. Enjoy rest of your holiday. Fondestos and Cheers, Patrizio!
