Didn’t see any pics of the HdR event in Paso last Apr/May? Alan and Charles Smith on stage together! There must be some good pics on the HdR site. Will have to check. My photographer friend was working the event, so I will have to look for some from Charles’ WA wine presentation with Alan.

That was so much fun. Charles came to our comedy fundraiser dinner at Jordan Vineyard and Winery a few weeks back and it was AWESOME.
