SATURDAY, JULY 26- Old Mission Wine Co. Summer Event
Our Winemaker Dinner will take place on Saturday, July 26th from 6:30—9:00 pm.
We will be featuring the newest releases from Skyhawk Lane Winery (Paso Robles)
and one other local winery as yet to be determined.  Those of you who have had
the pleasure of meeting winemaker Charlie Jobbins in the past
know what fun he is.  As for his wines, they are bigger and better than ever.
If you are not familiar with Skyhawk Lane wines, you are in for a special treat.
            Along with the wine tasting we will provide a full course B.B.Q. dinner that
includes appetizers, salad, chicken and sausage, side dishes, garlic bread
and dessert.  All this for the paltry sum of $25.00 per person.
