Twisted Nevada Events!

Three places to get Twisted in Nevada this week!

On Thursday the 25th, I (meaning me, El Jefe) will be pouring several wines at Sierra Gold in Reno, 680 South Meadows Pkwy, from 4-6pm. Call them at (775) 850-1112 for more information.

On Friday the 26th, I (meaning me, El Jefe, again) will be pouring at the End of Summer BBQ Bash at Pinocchio's Bar & Grill and The Cellar Wine Co. in Sparks,  4820 Vista Blvd, from 5-7pm. Call (775) 626-2244 for tickets and more information.

On Saturday the 27th, I (meaning me, El Jefe, for the last time I swear it) will NOT (I'm afraid, sorry to build you up like that) be pouring at the 3rd Annual Wine Amplified Festival at Mandalay Bay Beach in Las Vegas. However, our crack distributor in Southern Nevada Kirk Offerle of UVA Wine & Spirits (see photo) will be there pouring all of our Twisted wines. Please go and say hi to Kirk and try to get him to play naked Twister. Or something. More information: http://wineamplified.com/

Thirty Meters of Twisted Oak!

"The Oak helixes are attached to one another with Twisted Oak batons, 40mm thick - an arm's thickness."

Cave Loot Pictures!

Somehow I managed to upload all of my Cave Loot pictures to Flickr but not share any of them here on El Bloggo! Time to fix that! Here are few samples, but if you want to see them all, you'll need to visit our Flickr photo stream. Enjoy!
