Tracy That Worked For The BEAULIEU Vineyards Winery In Napa, Valley Back In The Nineties Gives Me A ' Coastal " Gray Blanket As A Thank You For The Work I Did Back Then Selling The BV Wines Portfolio Of Fine California Wines In All Prices And Styles That Started Back in 1900! GO BV! Thanks Again Tracy!

Linus in the cartoon strip of Charles Shultz " Peanuts " has his blanket, well Tracy that gave this to me years ago when I worked at Forman Brothers in the fine Wines ESTATES portfolio and sold BEAULIEU Winery wines to my customers in D.C., you gave me this as a ' thank you ' as the East Coast rep for BV wines that included this ' Coastal ' series of inexpensive ' good-value ' wines to enjoy anytime from the dry reds of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and also Pinot Noir to dry whites of Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc. We also had that wonderful company Forman Brothers trip to the BV ranch house and Chris Blethen and I stayed in the Tapestry Room with a balcony and a glorious view ( BACK IN THE MID NINETIES, CHRIS WORKED FOR THE VINTAGE division of Forman Brothers ), too of the valley and the vineyards ... thanks Tracy, this blanket has kept me warm on my Monday day-off as I have valiantly tried to recover from a bad cold! Here's to all the Linus'es of the world that have their warm and welcome blanket when they need it most : I needed it today!   TONY
