For the wine tour? It's ticketed so you'll need to be able to buy one before the event (and hope we still have some available).

haha, I was going to start a thread and suggest a different venue.

I have a love-hate relationship with Bluetrain at the moment.

Sounds like the Park Hyatt is the best place to stay

Can you please confirm that I paid? I think I did?

I won't be able to make dinner. That is election night, and I will be keeping an eye on the count - my job kinda depends on the outcome.
