UPDATE FROM THE WINE CLUB & TASTING ROOMWe had a fabulous time on the 12th annual Wine Club Yacht Cruise. We had a couple of beautiful days in Morro Bay, cruising on the harbor. Winemaker Christian Roguenant’s incedible wines paired perfectly with Chef and owner Leonard Gentieu’s superb courses! Leonard’s wife, Midge and assisitant Jeanette were wonderful hosts! Thank you club 1909 members for joining us and making it an excellent event!
