Thank you for your great comments, it is truly a joy to know how guests really appreciate all that goes into the hospitality and hosting and blending people from around the world.
I really enjoyed hosting you both, as we very much relate to the running world. I was sorry to have missed this race, but the training miles were thrown off a bit as you know, opening Uncorked at Oxbow in June...etc. Next year you can count on me running,but try and come and visit before!
Cheers!
Celeste

Dear Guests, thank you for your many suggestions, yes a bit nit picky but good input. The evening reception usually is from 6-7:15 pm and then guests stroll to their dinner reservations. If guests are enjoying their time and stay longer we try and accommodate and refill the wines not to rush them.Sorry for the inconvenience on the coffee, I understand there are very early risers and we try and have the coffee out early and reception cleared very early if not the night prior.
Wish you could have brought your suggestions forth on the Puccini Suite prior to your departure,there is much history on the room and the step down bathroom..etc. Perhaps I could have switched your room or tried to make it more practical for your stay.We do have many tables and sitting areas in our rooms,and they are spacious, but please understand we are not a hotel with room standardization. We try and make all of our guests rooms different,but I will consider your suggestions. One correction, Bruce and I do not own a winery, we have vineyards and we showcase our line of wines at our newly opened tasting salon Uncorked at Oxbow. These wines are not reception type wines,they are more complex and food style wines. From time to time, I do feature the Ahnfeldt Sauvignon Blanc at the B&B . I have many wineries that I work with as you did experience with all the connections and comp tasting fees ,so yes I like to feature a variety of their wines at the B&B and promote others than ourselves. Bruce and I welcome all of our guests to come to the tasting salon and enjoy a comp ($30 value per person) tasting, and enjoy the entire flight of wines.Usually guests leave feeling like part of the family, if guests stay for one night, that may be difficult because they are trying to pack in a lot in one day.Sorry we weren't your best select but good input.
Sincerely,
Celeste

Hi My guests from Sacramento! Yes we had a great time, wish you could have stayed longer but as I mentioned you will need to come back for at least 2 nights, there are about 4 different itineraries with wineries that offer amazing tastings so you will need at least an extra day to visit and meet the owners. I am very glad you enjoyed yourself and I wanted you to know that there is a great race in your area. It is called the 14th Annual Helen Klein Running Classic on Oct. 31st 2009. Talk about inspiration, Helen is 80+ years and still running! I am thinking about doing it , and it begins in Granite Bay.The contact info is Helen or Norman Klein 916-859-0821. Have a great weekend, Cheers! Celeste

Dear "Love this Place",
Yes we did have a lot of fun,and the fitness dimension to the B&B just adds to creating the balance of wine, food and health.
When you come back and stay a bit longer you can go to the gym with me and try out my Spin, PowerSculpt and Core classes that I teach before breakfast. A great way to start the day!
Hurry back more healthy & tasty recipes on the way ,
To Your Health!
