This Sunday's Capriole Spring Open House is postponed until June 5.

Earlier in the week I surveyed the events schedule: NABC is all over the map this coming weekend (May 20, 21 & 22).

I've since learned that Sunday's Capriole Spring Open House in Greenville is being postponed until Sunday, June 5, owing to soggy grounds. Anyone who's been to previous open houses amid the goats and greenery will recall that vehicles are parked on the farm fields and the lawn, and these are soaked; hence the postponement. But I'll be there with the cheeses on the 5th of June, pairing and pouring NABC samples.

Postponement: Office Hours will NOT be held this Monday, March 21.

Apologies, but once again I am compelled to postpone the weekly Office Hours tasting. It is a bottom line thing. We've had the chance to book a very large party into the Prost area on Monday night, March 21, and there will not be space for us there. I don't really like the idea of using public space, given that Mondays have been busy lately; it's too noisy in the main pub area, anyway.

Instead: The Stone/BBC (and others) vintage tasting will take place in Prost on Monday, March 28.

March 7 Office Hours is postponed until the 14th.

Please note this unexpected Office Hours postponement: The Office Hours vintage Barley Wine and Old Ale sampling scheduled for Monday evening, March 7, will have to wait until the 14th. I need to attend the city council meeting on Monday night, partly for reasons stemming from my at-large council candidacy, and partly because there is an ordinance about food services and the health department that I'd like to be there to discuss, if it becomes necessary.

I'm very sorry for the inconvenience, although it WILL be worth the wait.
