We had a fun evening at The Van's, near SF.

Thanks to an incredibly generous Grape Ape and DRAB, my somewhat drab trip to the Bay Area was jazzed up!

The wine and the company was sublime!

TN's to follow, I guess.

It was great meeting you! My offer stands for your next visit, which we'll do up right at a quality steakhouse in SF with DRAB and perhaps some other Bay Area forumites as well.

Cheers!
