I would assume, if history repeats, about 2 weeks prior. Lol

Downtown seems to be the hot place right now, so I'd bet somewhere around there. They tend to be a little slow getting the email out. When I get it I'll post it, unless someone else gets it first which if so please post it.

They tend to start somewhere around mid to late afternoon for the public tasting. Keep your schedule, post lunch, free that day :scholar:
