Yes, we heard about Ferrari of San Francisco's new California ending up in the SF Bay today on an early morning test drive. How unfortunate. Luckily, nobody was hurt.

Are you sure that you didn't load your cars onto a C-17 to Italy? Must be because Grace only photographs her feet in the best locations on Earth.
Hah, by that calculation, I've been drinking since I was born. Though I suppose that's less of a statement about my age than it is about Slavic drinking culture.
Thanks Butcher! It was an incredible day. The property was beautiful, the wine was wonderful, the food was delicious, the weather was perfect, and Henry and his family and crew were delightful - down to earth, super nice and very welcoming. I could go on and on. I almost had to be dragged out of there by the end of the evening! Thanks so much to Henry, Olga and Michael, and thanks to everyone who came - it was great to meet new people and catch up with the "old" ones! Kai, it was great to meet you and your son. He is hilarious! 1974gt4 - you guys are just awesome. Nuff said. Here are a few photos to add to Grace's amazing set: http://www.flickr.com/photos/bmarina/sets/72157629981047223/ (if anyone has problems viewing, let me know....it's been ages since I've used flickr)
