We are, in fact, going ahead with our grape order for 2009; thank you

add to an existing order, the following is for you.  Our grape supplier
in California informed us today that the deadline for California grape
orders will be <b>Monday 9/14/2009</b>.  We realize that this is very
short notice but we are bound by our suppliers deadlines.  We thank you
for your understanding and apologize for the lack of warning.  If you
