This was a fantastic lunch, high above the foothills in Napa and from Dick and Ann's pool area we were able to overlook Napa Valley. Dick and Ann were unable to attend as he was receiving a Humanatarian award from Ellis Island in NY. We were very fortunate to have is daughter in law, Lynn Grace, play substitute for the afternoon. Thank you Dick and Ann. And a special thanks goes out to Dr. Tom for his incredible wine notes.
