What a FUN first-ever AMOB Summer Fest!

A guest absolutely made my day when he emailed me with some feedback complimenting our staff, the experience, and the delicious food.

In addition to the 56 cent Margaritas at each location, winery reps were on hand at Landside with free samples and goodies. $5.60 glasses of Mer Soleil SILVER Chardonnay flowed ($19.61 by the bottle – the year John graced us with his presence)….
