Please note the tour is going to other cities and I hear it's pretty much the same format, just different nights, different venues, and a slightly different line-up at each city (check out the link above for further details). So other AFFers in other cities - by all means get your own gaggle going.
I'm in for this event. Please let me know if you want to join us. It should be a great night.
Casual dinner afterwards: And, there is a possibility of having a meal with one or more of the winemakers after the tasting finishes (not confirmed, but hopefully happening).
